Existing law, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, authorizes the involuntary commitment and treatment of persons with specified mental health disorders for the protection of the persons so committed. Under the act, if a person, as a result of a mental health disorder, is a danger to others, or to themselves, or is 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. The act also authorizes a conservator to be appointed for a person who is gravely disabled. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to repeal and replace the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act.
