California AB1205 establishes criteria and procedures for assisted outpatient treatment for individuals with severe mental illness.

California AB1205 amends the Welfare and Institutions Code to allow courts to order assisted outpatient treatment for individuals meeting specific criteria. This includes adults with severe mental illness who have a history of non-compliance with treatment, posing a risk of harm to themselves or others. The court must find that assisted outpatient treatment is the least restrictive option and that no less restrictive alternatives are feasible. The treatment plan must be submitted by a licensed mental health treatment provider and approved by the court.
