ITEM NUMBER TWO EIGHTY NINETEEN
SEVENTY SIX. GOOD MORNING
SENATORS SAID MISTER CHAIR
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE
TODAY- I THINK IT'S ALL GONNA
GO SMOOTHLY AS I'M DRIVING DOWN
AND ALL THE LIGHTS TURN GREEN
ALL THE WAY DOWN SO I TAKE THAT
AS A GOOD SIGN FOR ALL OF US
HERE TODAY. AT TODAY I'M HERE
TO PRESENT AB NINETEEN SEVENTY
SIX WHICH UPDATES AND EXPAND
SOME ASPECTS OF LAURA'S LAW
WENT HOME AGAIN WANT TO START
BY THANKING THE CHAIR FOR
HEARING THIS BILL TODAY AND
ALSO GLADLY ACCEPTING THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AMENDMENT
TO AT THE DELAY IMPLEMENTATION
UNTIL JULY TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
THIS IS THE SECOND BILL I
INTRODUCED THIS YEAR AS PART OF
MY MENTAL HEALTH PACKAGE WELL
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WE ALREADY
HAD A PANDEMIC ON OUR STREETS.
DEALING WITH HOMELESSNESS AND
MENTAL HEALTH. AND THIS IS ONE
STEP OF MY THAT MAKING MY
QUESTION ALL OF OUR QUEST TO
TRY TO ADDRESS THIS. ASSISTED
OUTPATIENT TREATMENT OR LAURA'S
LAW IT'S AN EVIDENCE BASED
COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAM THAT
PROVIDES TREATMENTS. TO THOSE
WHO OTHERWISE MAY BE UNABLE TO
ACCESS COMMITTEE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES VOLUNTARILY. DUE TO
THEIR SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES. THIS BILL WOULD EXPAND
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF. ASSISTED
OUTPATIENT TREATMENT STATEWIDE
WHILE STILL PROVIDING LOCAL
CONTROL THROUGH THE
FLEXIBILITY. TO ALLOW COUNTIES
TO OPT OUT BY LOCAL BOARDS. AND
THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW COUNTY
THAT MIGHT BE SMALLER TO
COLLABORATE WITH EACH OTHER- AS
THEY AS THEY MOVE TOWARDS
IMPLEMENTATION. AS WELL AS
REPEALING THE SUNSET DATE.
AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF THIS
BEING IMPLEMENTED WE FEEL LIKE
IT IS AND AGAIN EVIDENCE BASED
HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE EIGHTEEN
YEARS. AND WHILE WE'RE REMOVING
A SUNSET DATE. DISTILLING TO BE
REPORT DONE TO THE STATE EVERY
SINGLE YEAR. NONE OF US ARE
STRAIN TO THE MENTAL HEALTH
CONDITIONS THAT ARE IN OUR
STATE IN OUR COUNTRY THAT
PLAGUE OUR STREETS AND THE
FAMILIES THAT WE KNOW ARE
BEHIND EVERY PERSON. THAT WE
SEE OUT THERE. THIS WEEK THE
STATE AUDITOR RELEASED A- AUDIT
ON LPS THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN
ANTICIPATING FOR MONTHS I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE IT SOONER BUT WE'RE
VERY GRATEFUL THAT IT. IS
ARRIVE ANNA AND I AND IT HAS GO
EVEN FOR THAN THIS BILL DOES
AND I AM CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE
OF THAT. BUT WE HAVE THIS BILL
IN FRONT OF US TODAY AND AS YOU
ALL KNOW WHEN WE GET TO TE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS OF
REVIEWING AND BOUGHT IT THAT
MAY TAKE MONTHS HERE'S- A TIME
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOMETHING IN
FRONT OF US THAT WILL ACT AS
ONE MORE TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX.
DO I THINK ASSISTED APERTURE
TREATMENT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED
STATEWIDE YES I DO BUT THIS
PROVIDES A FIRST STEP THAT
CONTINUES TO WRITE LOCAL
CONTROL. TO COUNTIES- IF WE
DECIDE TO HAVE MORE CHANGES
LATER WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.
THIS BILL ALSO. MAKE SURE THAT
NO FUNDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY USE
FOR OTHER PROGRAMS ARE DEFERRED
TO BE ABLE TO USE FOR THIS.
ESPECIALLY THOSE DEALING WITH
CHILDREN. THAT EXPANDING LOWERS
LAW WOULD HOPEFULLY MEET
EARLIER INTERVENTION. AS WE
KNOW THAT WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY
GET TO THE POINT WHERE THEY
HAVE TO BE HELD AGAINST THEIR
WILL IT IS REACHED A CRISIS
POINT WE KNOW THE COST OF
PEOPLE CIRCLING IN AND OUT OF
OUR EMERGENCY ROOMS IN OUR
JAILS BEHIND MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES WE KNOW THIS IS AN
EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION- THEN
WE KNOW THAT. POTENTIALLY LOWER
WILCOX WITH HIS BILL IS NAMED
AFTER WOULD STILL BE ALIVE WITH
US TODAY IF THIS TREATMENT HAD
BEEN IN PLACE- AGAIN THIS IS A
ROBUST PROGRAM EVERY MEMBER
HERE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT
DOCTOR PAN AND THE VICE CHAIR
ALREADY HAVE THIS PROGRAM IN
THEIR COUNTIES- IMAGINE I'M
SURE YOU STILL SEE THE PROBLEMS
ON YOUR STREETS IMAGINE WHAT IT
WOULD BE IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE
THIS THIS TOOL AS WELL- WE
STILL HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO
DO. BUT THIS IS ONE STEP AND I
WILL RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE AFTER HOPEFULLY A YEAH

OPEN PLEASE GO AHEAD. GOOD
AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I AM
RANDALL PICKER- I DO REPRESENT
THE CALIFORNIA PSYCHE
ASSOCIATION THE SPONSORS OF
THIS JUST REAL QUICKLY TO KIND
OF REMIND US ABOUT WHAT
ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT
IS A PROGRAM THAT'S BASICALLY
COURT SUPERVISED INTENSIVE
TREATMENT IT'S MEANT FOR A
SMALL GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. WHO
TYPICALLY LACK INSIGHT- BAY MAY
RECESSES BECAUSE OF THAT A
REFUSE OR BE ABLE BECAUSE
THEY'RE TOO SICK TO ACTUALLY
COMPLY WITH TREATMENT BECAUSE
OF THAT- IT'S NOT SURPRISING
THEY GET ARRESTED THEY HAVE
HOSPITALIZATIONS THEY MAY NEED
HE ALSO ENGAGE IN A PRESS FOR
ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND THIS IS A
REVOLVING DOOR PATTERN FOR THEM
BASED ON RESEARCH THIS KIND OF
PROGRAM SHOWS YOU CAN GET VERY
GOOD OUTCOMES UNDER TWO
CONDITIONS. ONE IS THAT IF YOU
TREAT PEOPLE PSYCHOTIC
DISORDERS THAT'S ONE UP FOR AT
LEAST SIX MONTHS YOU CAN REDUCE
HOSPITALIZATIONS WRAPS
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE VIOLENCE-
THEY ALSO RETAIN STABLE HOUSING
IN AN ASSISTED OUTPATIENT
PROGRAM I'M PROBABLY JUST AS
IMPORTANT AS ANYTHING ELSE IF
NOT MORE SO BEAR MEDICATION
COMPLIANCE. IN THE PROGRAM THE
STATUTE HAS SUBSTANTIAL
PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS- THESE
INDIVIDUALS OFTEN FACE A CHOICE
WHEN ASSISTED OUTPATIENT
TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE IT'S AN
ALTERNATIVE TO JAIL POSSIBLY
PRISON BUT CERTAINLY JAIL OR
HOSPITALIZATION IT IS A COURT
SUPERVISED PROGRAM IS A SAD- IN
THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE SETTING
ONCE YOU'RE DONE WITH THE COURT
PROCESS YOU GET TO GO HOME AND
SLEEP IN YOUR OWN BED AT NIGHT
IT IS A COMMUNITY BASED
PROGRAM. AND AS I SAID IT HAS-
VERY REMARKABLE AND SOMETIMES
DRAMATIC RESULTS FOR PEOPLE
IT'S BEEN DEMONSTRATED FOR OVER
EIGHTEEN YEARS IT IS DESERVING-
STATEWIDE APPLICATION AND NOW
WE HAVE A VERY POWERFUL-
SENTIMENTS ON THE PART OF THE-
AUDITOR. THAT THE SHOULD GHOST
EVEN THOUGH NOT WHAT WE HAD SHE
WITH THIS WE BELIEVE IT'S VERY
CONSISTENT WITH THAT PART OF
THE AUDITOR'S REPORT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- I
UNDERSTAND MISTER WILCOX AND
FOURTEEN IS NOT CALLED BACK BUT
MODERATELY PLEASE CHECK AGAIN
TO SEE IF MISTER WILLCOX IS
AVAILABLE TO TESTIFY. YEAH I AM
ON THE LINE THANK YOU WELCOME.
PLEASE BEGIN. OKAY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH A GOOD AFTERNOON I
HAD ORIGINALLY WRITTEN GOOD
MORNING BUT IT IS AFTERNOON- MY
NAME IS NICOLE COCCI I'M
CALLING IN THIS MORNING AND I
IN SUPPORT OF AB NINETEEN
SEVENTY SIX- BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
HOW SUSAN EGGMAN- THIS STILL
REMOTE THE SUNSET CLAUSE FROM
LARS VON THE- COUNTIES. TO
IMPLEMENT THE LAW UNLESS THEY
AFFIRMATIVELY OPT OUT. MY WIFE
AMANDA AND I BEEN AND IN THIS
ISSUE SINCE TWO THOUSAND ONE.
WHEN AB FOURTEEN TWENTY ONE WAS
FIRST UNDER CONSIDERATION IN
THAT YEAR. OUR DAUGHTER LAURA
WAS A VICTIM IN A RAMPAGE
SHOOTING PERPETRATED BY A MAN
WITH SEVERE UNTREATED MENTAL
ILLNESS. WE UNDERSTOOD EARLY
THAT MANY WITH SEVERE MENTAL
ILLNESS DO NOT RECOGNIZE OR
ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR CONDITION
THEREFORE DO NOT ENGAGE IN
TREATMENT. LARGE LAW WAS AN
ATTEMPT TO CREATE A LEGAL
STRUCTURE AND A TREATMENT
PROGRAM TO ENGAGE SUCH
INDIVIDUALS. WE ENCOUNTER
STRONG OPPOSITION AT THAT TIME
IN ORDER TO MOVE THE ISSUE
FORWARD ASSEMBLY MEMBER HELEN
THOMPSON. ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF
THE FOURTEEN TWENTY ONE AGREED
TO A FIVE YEAR SUNSET CLAUSE IN
TWO THOUSAND TWO. WHEN OUR OWN
COUNTY- WHICH IS NEVADA COUNTY
WAS THE FIRST TO FULLY
IMPLEMENT LARGE LAW IN TWO
THOUSAND AND EIGHT SINCE THEN
MANY COUNTY SO FOLLOWED SUIT
NOW OVER HALF OF. BUT IT CAN
COUNTIES THAT HAVE IMPLEMENTED
THE LAW. THE LEGISLATURE HAS
EXTENDED THE SUNSET ON THREE
SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE THAT
TIME. THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OF
THE LOG THEIR OPPONENT'S
PREDICTED AT THE OUTSET HAVE
NOT MATERIALIZED. IN OUR COUNTY
THE OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN BETTER
THAN WE HAD EVER ENVISIONED THE
PRODUCTIONS AND
HOSPITALIZATIONS INCARCERATION
AND HOMELESS. THE COURT ORDER
ITSELF HAS NOT BEEN UTILIZED AS
FREQUENTLY AS WE HAD EXPECTED
MISTER. FANTASTIC ARTICLE
SHORTLY. HAS THAT. IS IT IN
OVER 50% OF CASES CORRIDORS ARE
ARE UNNECESSARY AND PEOPLE
ENGAGING TREATMENT VOLUNTARILY
AFTER INTERACTION WITH THE
JUDGE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE
HAD HOPED FOR AFTER ALL THE
GOAL OF MOORE'S LAW IS NOT TO
BE PUNITIVE BUT TO ENGAGE
PEOPLE AND LONG TERM TREATMENT
SO THAT THEY MAY START ON THE
ROAD TO RECOVERY. WE BELIEVE
THAT LEARNING LONG HAS NOW
PROVEN AND THE TIME IS COME TO
MAKE IT PERMANENT AND MAKE IT
AVAILABLE TO YOU CAN MORE
CALIFORNIANS. PROVIDING QUALITY
MENTAL HEALTH CARE IS THE
HUMANE THING TO DO A CUTS AND
EASIER AT BEST INTEREST TO SIGN.
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE
LAST FIFTEEN YEARS PEOPLE HAVE
APPROACHED AMANDA NINE
INSTRUMENT CUTS AND THEN ASKING
DENTAL RECORDS PLEASE. I WILL
FINISH AND- THEY IT APPROACHED
US AND THANKED US AND SAID THAT
WITHOUT IT THEIR LOVED ONES
WOULD NO LONGER BE ALIVE. THANK

PROVIDING A KEY AB NINETEEN
SEVENTY SIX IN THIS PROCESS AND
WOULD ALLOW IN OUR COULD WE'RE
CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD ALLOW
HIM POLITICAL DYNAMICS IT TAKE
TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FIRST
OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION
ADDITIONALLY UNDER THE CURRENT
BUDGET KLEIN NETWORK COMPANIES
ARE EXPECTED TO SEE A ONE
BILLION DOLLAR DROP IN REVENUE
THAT THE FADING REDUCTIONS IN
SERVICES AND PROGRAMS ACROSS
THE STATE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
THE WRONG KIND OF PRESSURE
COUNTY IMPLEMENTED NEW PROGRAM
OR EXPAND ON AN EXISTING ONE
COUNTIES ARE ALREADY FEELING
THE PRESSURE TO SERVE THE
ADDITIONAL ONE POINT TWO
MILLION NEW MEDI CAL
BENEFICIARIES WHILE OUR REVENUE
SEARCHES ARE PLUMMETING RIGHT
NOW THE UPTAKE OF AOKI IS
WORKING IN A MANNER THAT IT
NEEDS TO WORK IN A REPORT. THAT
ENVIRONMENT AND UNFORTUNATELY
AB THAT SEVENTY SIX NOTHING TO
ADDRESS. THE REAL. SENDING A-
WHICH IS THE LACK REPORT.
BECAUSE OF THE KERN BUDGET. IN
CONCERN WITH THE BIT THAT THIS
MAKE. OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE
SERVICES IN THE LEAST
RESTRICTIVE SETTING. HE A
STRONGLY URGES HEALTH COMMITTEE.
NO ON THIS BILL THANK YOU.
THANK THANK YOU OF NEXT WHAT
THE STATUS OF IS MISTER CHILD.
GOOD AFTERNOON DOCTOR BILLION
AND MEMBERS OF- OF THE
COMMITTEE WE AGREE WITH AND
CHILLING IN THE TESTIMONY OF
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM OTHER COUNTY
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIRECTORS
ASSOCIATION WE HAD INITIALLY
HAS AN OPPOSING COMMANDED
POSITION ON BILL FIRST WE
BELIEVE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT.
A MULTI COUNTY PROGRAMS THAT
WOULD NOW BE AUTHORIZED
SERVICES SHOULD BE PROVIDED
WHERE THE RECIPIENT RESIDES OR
IN THE IN AN AREA READILY
ACCESSIBLE TO THE SERVICES AND
THAT THE BILL WOULD NEED TO
REFLECT THAT- SECOND WE BELIEVE
THAT THIS BILL HASN'T BEEN A
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM FROM-
FROM BEING AN OPTIONAL TO A
MANDATORY PROGRAM. AND BY
ALLOWING THE MULTI COUNTY
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICE
DELIVERY SO WE THINK IT WOULD
BE APPROPRIATE- TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE A SUNSET REMAIN IN THE ACT
SO THAT THE IMPACT OF THIS
REVISED PROGRAM CAN BE
EVALUATED UNDER THAT NEW
STRUCTURE AND BE SUBJECT TO
FURTHER EVALUATION. HOWEVER
WITH THE RELEASE OF THE STATE
AUDITOR'S AUDIT OF THE LPS
SYSTEM THIS WEEK WE'RE NOW
OPPOSED TO THE BILL- THE
AUDITOR'S FINDING MADE CLEAR
THAT THE STATE SHOULD NOT BE
MAKING IT EASIER TO FORCE
MENTALLY ILL. CALIFORNIANS IN
THE TREATMENT RATHER SHOULD BE
OUR BALL TREATMENT AND THE
DELAY OF SIR. THE AUDITOR'S
SOME IN WHERE THAT IVOLUNTARY-
TREAT WHICH SHOULD NOT BE
EXPANDED AND SHE ANALYZE VIDEO
TV- WITHIN THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS SO WE BELIEVE
THAT THE OTHERS-
RECOMMENDATIONS- DESERVE SOME
CAREFUL EVALUATION WITHIN THE
CONTEXT OF THE ENTIRE MENTAL
HEALTH LITTLE EVERY SYSTEM ND
WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT A SINGLE
PIECE SUCH AS THIS BILL.
WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE IMPACTS
OF THE MULTIPLE CARDS ON THE
SYSTEM PARTICULARLY WHEN IT
CONCERNS COLOR SLEEP
INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT LIKE THIS
BILL- DOES. AS THE COMEDIAN NOW
I WAS IS PROPERLY NO FOR THE
COMMITTEE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK
WHETHER IT IS INDEED PREMATURE
WE BELIEVE THAT IF THEY AND
AGAIN THAT THE- YEAH. EGGMAN
VERY ARE OF THE OF THE
AUDITOR'S PEOPLE THAT IT LOOKS
POLICE. AN AS LIKELY TO NOTED
IN THE TO COMMITTEE SCORE OF
THE- WE CIVIL RIGHTS ARE.
IMPLICATED AS THEY ARE IN THIS
BILL THAT'S WE BELIEVE THAT THE
BILL WOULD THREATEN THE
DELIVERY OF SERVICE USING THE
LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT.
AND SHOULD BE FULLY THAT AND
CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE
AUDITOR'S REPORT SO FOR THESE
REASONS WE SPECIFICALLY OPPOSE
THE BILL AND- OKAY THANK YOU.
WE ARE NOW- HEAR FROM-
OPPOSITION. BEGIN TO IDENTIFY
YOURSELF JUST BY NAME
