California enacts modest changes to mental health court
Original: New laws make incremental tweaks to California’s mental health court, while bigger changes nixed
California lawmakers have passed new legislation making incremental adjustments to the state's mental health court system, while rejecting larger proposed reforms. The changes refine how the courts, which divert people with serious mental illness from jail into treatment, operate, but fall short of the overhauls some advocates and officials had pushed for this session.
Why now: Lawmakers and advocates are reacting to what was included and left out of the state's latest mental health legislation.
