AB 2161 (Arambula, D-Fresno)

AB 2161 would have promoted the widespread availability of evidence-based services to treat the early signs of psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. The bill would have required the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to create a strategic plan that would identify opportunities to improve California’s response to early psychosis. It would have also required the Department of Health Care Services to partner with the University of California to develop a Center for Mental Health Wellness and Innovations.
