Summary

California has the largest population of mentally ill defendants nationwide, and on June 27, 2018, the governor signed into law Assembly Bill 1810 that offered every county the opportunity to establish diversion program procedures (Section 15), and opened program access to all mental health diagnoses excluding antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and pedophilia. This measure thus reflects the increasing nationwide interest in channeling seriously mentally ill individuals away from traditional legal processes into pre-trial diversion programs. On an individual level the goal is to provide treatment for mental health conditions, decrease the legal burden and consequences of arrest, and facilitate integration with community support structures.
