Amended IN Senate August 30, 2019 Amended IN Senate April 23, 2019 Amended IN Senate April 10, 2019 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20192020 REGULAR SESSION Senate Bill No. 665Introduced by Senator UmbergFebruary 22, 2019An act to amend Section 5847 of, and to amend, repeal, and add Section 5813.5 of of, the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to mental health, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 665, as amended, Umberg. Mental Health Services Fund: county jails.Existing law, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), an initiative measure enacted by the voters as Proposition 63 at the November 2, 2004, statewide general election, funds a system of county mental health plans for the provision of mental health services. The MHSA establishes the continuously appropriated Mental Health Services Fund to fund various county mental health programs. Existing law prohibits MHSA funds from being used to pay for persons incarcerated in state prison or parolees from state prisons. The MHSA authorizes its provisions to be amended by the Legislature by a 2/3 vote of the Legislature if the amendment is consistent with and furthers the intent of the act, and authorizes the Legislature to clarify procedures and terms of the act by majority vote.Existing law, the 2011 Realignment Legislation addressing public safety and related statutes, requires that certain specified felonies be punished by a term of imprisonment in a county jail, rather than the state prison, and provides for mandatory supervision, a period of suspended execution of a concluding portion of the sentence that is supervised by the county probation officer.This bill would would, until January 1, 2023, authorize a county to use MHSA funds, if that use is included in the county plan, to provide services to persons who are incarcerated in a county jail or subject to mandatory supervision, except persons who are incarcerated in a county jail for a conviction of a felony, except felony unless for purposes of facilitating discharge. By allocating moneys in the Mental Health Services Fund for a new purpose, this bill would make an appropriation. The bill would also declare that this change is consistent with and furthers the intent of the MHSA.The existing MHSA requires each county mental health program to prepare and submit a 3-year program and expenditure plan, and annual updates, as specified, to the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission and the State Department of Health Care Services within 30 days after adoption.This bill would, until January 1, 2024, require a county to include in its 3-year program and expenditure plan, and in the annual updates, a report on expenditures made pursuant to the provisions of this bill. By increasing the reporting duties of counties, this bill would impose 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.This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.Digest Key Vote: 2/3 Appropriation: YES Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NOYES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
