Settlement Talks Begin Over Busing Nevada Patients With Mental Illnesses to California
Officials from California and Nevada are discussing a settlement for one of three lawsuits against Nevada over the busing of patients with mental illnesses to California. The settlement, which would end a 16-month legal battle between Nevada and San Francisco, would compensate California for costs related to patients with mental illnesses who were discharged from psychiatric facilities in Nevada and provided a one-way bus ticket to seek help in California and would create new rules for transporting such patients across state lines.
