California lawmakers sign off on ballot measure to reform mental health care system
- Senators have approved two proposals for the upcoming ballot to address California's mental health system and homelessness crisis. One proposal would allow the state to borrow $6.38 billion for new treatment beds and housing, while the other would revamp how counties fund mental and behavioral health programs.
- Lawmakers have passed a bill to make striking workers eligible for state unemployment benefits, which would benefit hotel workers, actors, and writers who have been on strike. However, the bill's impact on the insolvent fund used to pay unemployment benefits remains a concern.
- The Assembly and Senate have also approved legislation to reform California's conservatorship system, making it easier for authorities to provide care to people with untreated mental illness or addiction. However, some critics worry about potential violations of individuals' rights.
