Summary

The bill amends California’s Lanterman‑Petris‑Short Act to let counties designate emergency department doctors as qualified responders for 5150 involuntary holds. It also extends the civil and criminal immunity that currently protects peace officers and other designated responders to these physicians. The change broadens the pool of professionals who can safely detain individuals who pose a danger because of a mental health disorder.
