What do voters think of the CARE Courts for the mentally ill signed into law by Gov. Newsom, and the mandatory kindergarten bill he vetoed?
Civil and disability rights groups spent the majority of the legislative session in fervent opposition to CARE Court over concerns the new law could criminalize homelessness and lead to mentally ill people being coerced into treatment.Despite those fears, voters expressed overwhelming support for the new law, according to a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times.
Proponents have called the new law a paradigm shift that aims to treat people who’ve cycled in and out of jails and hospitals and who are headed toward a more restrictive court-ordered conservatorship. To initiate a CARE plan, family members, first responders, medical professionals and behavioral health providers could petition a judge to order an evaluation of an individual adult. If it’s determined the person would benefit from medication and behavioral health treatment, the court could order a CARE plan that, for up to two years, would include those services and housing appropriate for their needs.
“The Democrats and the liberals were strongly behind that idea,” DiCamillo said. “It’s kind of counterintuitive for Newsom to have vetoed it. I don’t really get it because he’s been in favor of early childhood education.”
