New California law aims to force people with mental illness or addiction to get help
- Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law in California that allows the detention of individuals with untreated mental illness or addiction issues, in an effort to address the state's homelessness crisis and reform the mental health system.
- The law expands the definition of "gravely disabled" to include those who are unable to meet their basic needs due to untreated mental illness or substance abuse. It aims to make it easier for authorities to provide care to homeless individuals with these conditions.
- There are concerns that the new law may result in more people being locked up and deprived of their rights, but proponents argue that it provides an alternative to the prison system for those with mental health and addiction problems.
