Bill > SB1028

This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law, specifically Section 5150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, which is part of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. This act allows for the involuntary commitment and treatment of individuals with mental health disorders who are deemed a danger to themselves or others, or are gravely disabled, meaning they cannot care for their basic needs. Currently, under Section 5150, these individuals can be taken into custody for up to 72 hours for evaluation and treatment. The bill's amendments are minor and do not alter the core provisions of this involuntary commitment process.
