Legislation

SB 929 was signed into law in 2022, requiring CA DHCS data collection and reporting, including clinical outcomes related to individuals who are admitted or detained for 72-hour evaluation and treatment.

SB 465 was signed into law in 2021, requiring reporting (by the MHSOAC to the CA legislature) of outcomes for people receiving community mental health services under a full service partnership model, including any barriers to receiving the data and recommendations to strengthen California’s use of full service partnerships to reduce incarceration, hospitalization, and homelessness.

SB 1004 was signed into law in 2018, requiring the commission [MHSOAC] to establish priorities for the use of prevention and early intervention funds and to develop a statewide strategy for monitoring implementation of prevention and early intervention services, including enhancing public understanding of prevention and early intervention and creating metrics for assessing the effectiveness of how prevention and early intervention funds are used and the outcomes that are achieved.
