(1) In order to accomplish the intent of prior legislation on human services delivery that there be an ongoing process or forum for continued coordination and collaboration at the local level concerning the delivery of human services, this article authorizes the creation of local health and human services advisory boards. A local health and human services advisory board may serve a single county, two or more counties jointly, one or more judicial districts, or other service areas. Members of an advisory board shall be appointed by the governing body or bodies of the counties included. Membership shall be locally determined and shall include appropriate geographic, ethnic, and cultural representation and representation from the public and from consumers of services. Membership shall also include persons who have program expertise for the types of programs the advisory board advises.

(2) In addition to, in combination with, or in lieu of creating a local health and human services advisory board, a county, judicial district, or other service area may elect to consolidate its advisory board with that of one or more other counties, judicial districts, or service areas as specified in section 24-1.7-103.
