More Counties Should Adopt Laura’s Law, Editorial Argues
An Orange County Register editorial argues that more counties should implement Laura's Law, a state law that gives counties the option to allow courts to require treatment for residents with severe mental health conditions. The editorial states that serious mental health issues, such as schizophrenia and paranoia, often can only be solved by "local governments working with law enforcement and health care agencies."
