What it does
Existing law, known as Laura's Law, until January 1, 2017, regulates designated assisted outpatient treatment services, which a county may choose to provide for its residents. To implement the program, the county board of supervisors is required to, by resolution, authorize the program and make a finding that no voluntary mental health program serving adults, and no children's mental health program, may be reduced as a result of the program's implementation. In a county where assisted outpatient treatment services are available, a person is authorized to receive specific mental health services pursuant to an order if requisite criteria are met, as specified.
