CA SB1273

Clarifies that counties may use Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63) funds to provide voluntary outpatient crisis stabilization services to individuals, even when involuntary services are provided at the same facility.

Adds language to Section 5813.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code to explicitly permit the colocation of voluntary and involuntary mental health crisis services without precluding the use of Mental Health Services Fund moneys.

Specifies that Mental Health Services Fund moneys cannot be used to pay for persons incarcerated in state prison or parolees from state prisons.

Includes a provision protecting employees covered under collective bargaining agreements governed by the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act from displacement when voluntary crisis stabilization services are provided.

Requires a majority vote of the Legislature because the bill clarifies procedures and terms related to Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act.
