 Assembly Bill

No. 1055

Introduced by Assembly Member Levine

February 21, 2019

 An act to amend Section 5152 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to mental health. add Chapter 13 (commencing with Section 4571) to Division 5 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to public projects.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1055, as amended, Levine.
 Mental health: involuntary commitment. Publicly funded technology projects.

Existing law imposes various requirements governing public works and public purchases, including, among other things, protection of infrastructure, preferences, emergency conservation, access to buildings, and contract requirements. The Ralph M. Brown Act requires that all meetings of the legislative body, as defined, of a local agency be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend unless a closed session is authorized. The Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend. 

This bill would require a public agency undertaking a publicly
 funded major technology project that is estimated to cost $100,000,000 or more to form an oversight committee subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act or the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, as applicable, and to develop and use risk management plans throughout the course of the project. The bill would require the oversight committee to be composed of specified members selected by the public agency undertaking the project. The bill would require the oversight committee to act as the authority for critical decisions regarding the project and to have sufficient staff to support decisionmaking. By imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions
 establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Existing law, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, provides for the involuntary detention and treatment of persons with specified mental health disorders for the protection of the persons so committed. Under the act, when a person, as a result of a mental health disorder, is a danger to others, or to themself or gravely disabled, the person may, upon probable cause, be taken into custody and placed in a facility designated by the county and approved by the State Department of Social Services for up to 72 hours for evaluation and treatment. Existing law requires a person admitted to a facility for 72-hour treatment and evaluation under the act to receive an evaluation as soon as possible after admission and to receive whatever treatment and care the person’s condition requires for the full period that the person is held. Existing law requires that person to be released, referred for further care
 and treatment on a voluntary basis, or certified for intensive treatment, or a conservator or temporary conservator shall be appointed pursuant to this part.

This bill would require a person who is released to also be referred for further care and treatment on a voluntary basis, and would require a psychiatrist, psychologist, or medical director approving the release, to, prior to that release, ensure that an initial outpatient appointment with a psychiatrist or psychologist within 5 business days of the release is scheduled.
