California AB1782 mandates mental health evaluations for prisoners before parole if they have severe mental health disorders.

California AB1782 requires mental health evaluations for prisoners before parole if they have severe mental health disorders that are not in remission or cannot be kept in remission without treatment. The bill specifies that these disorders must have been a cause or aggravating factor in the prisoner's criminal behavior and that the prisoner must have been in treatment for at least 90 days within the year prior to parole. If the prisoner meets these criteria, they must be provided necessary treatment by the State Department of State Hospitals as a condition of parole.
