RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the Annual Report of the Assisted Outpatient Treatment Program for the period January 1 through December 31, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None, as funds are authorized and budgeted for the AOT Program for the balance of FY 2019/20, and MHSA revenue is expected to sustain the CCBHS portion of the program costs.
BACKGROUND:
The Assisted Outpatient Treatment Demonstration Project Act (AB 1421), known as Laura’s Law, was signed into California law in 2002 and was authorized until January 1, 2017. Laura’s Law is named after a 19 year-old woman who worked at a Nevada County mental health clinic. She was one of three individuals who died after a shooting by a psychotic individual who had not engaged in treatment.
