Editorial Praises San Diego County Supervisors for Voting To Implement Laura’s Law
A U-T San Diego editorial applauds "four San Diego County supervisors for their votes Tuesday to finally take a crucial first step toward realizing" the benefits of Laura's Law, a program that allows court-ordered intensive outpatient treatment for people with serious mental illnesses. The editorial noted that "New York state's experience with a similar measure for the severely mentally ill led to reductions in hospitalizations, arrests and jail time," adding, "Here's hoping that after careful implementation, San Diego County has similar success."
