Bill overview
This bill amends California law to strengthen the process for involuntary commitment of individuals experiencing behavioral health crises. Specifically, it requires county behavioral health directors to include emergency physicians as eligible professionals for designation and training within their mobile crisis teams and treatment facilities. It also clarifies liability protections for individuals involved in the commitment process, ensuring those responsible for detainment are not subject to criminal or civil liability.
