California mental health court sees only incremental changes in new laws
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 proposals for more sweeping changes were rejected. The outcome leaves the core structure of the courts, which divert people with mental illness away from incarceration and into treatment, largely intact. Advocates on both sides had pushed for bigger reforms, and the decision to hold off on major changes is drawing attention.
Why now: Lawmakers just wrapped a session where bigger mental health court reforms were debated and ultimately dropped.
