California lawmakers are voting whether to send hundreds of bills to Gov. Gavin Newsom before the legislative session ends late Thursday.
MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM
Irwin said her bill would bring “the single largest expansion” of the state’s mental health system. The money would help build 10,000 treatment beds and housing, some of which would serve veterans with mental illness or unhealthy drug and alcohol use, and provide up to $1.5 billion in grants for local government and indigenous tribes.
“Let’s remember, when somebody goes on strike, it’s not a romantic thing. It’s hard on them,” Portantino said.that could result in more people being detained against their will because of mental illness. The bill would expand the definition of gravely disabled to include people who are unable to provide for their basic needs such as food and shelter due to an untreated mental illness or unhealthy drugs and alcohol use. The legislation is the latest attempt to update California’s 56-year-old law governing mental health conservatorships — an arrangement by which the court appoints someone to make legal decisions for another person.
