Show Notes
California lawmakers propose a bill to grant judges more discretion in denying mental health diversion for violent or high-risk cases. Prosecutors support the measure, citing instances where individuals with mental illness received diversion despite past violence. The proposed Assembly Bill forty-six aims to balance public safety and mental health treatment by allowing judges to assess a defendants risk and the suitability of the treatment plan.
