LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law, the Bronzan-McCorquodale Act, provides that the mission of California’s mental health system is to enable persons experiencing severe and disabling mental illnesses and children with serious emotional disturbances to access services and programs that assist them, in a manner tailored to each individual, to better control their illness, to achieve their personal goals, and to develop skills and supports leading to their living the most constructive and satisfying lives possible in the least restrictive available settings.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
