Summary

AB 308 adds a new chapter to the Welfare and Institutions Code that lets county behavioral health directors develop optional protocols for mobile crisis teams when responding to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities or behavioral health conditions. The protocols must cover de‑escalation, appropriate use of force, and transport guidance, and the director can create related training together with law‑enforcement agencies. It aims to improve safety and outcomes for vulnerable Californians during crisis encounters.
