SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to implement Laura s Law during a meeting Tuesday, paving the way for court-ordered treatment for people with severe mental illness and a history of hospitalization or incarceration.
Laura s Law, also known as assisted outpatient treatment (AOT), mandates 90 days of mental health treatment for those who have had run-ins with the law and are determined to have symptoms of severe mental illness. The law is intended to be a temporary mechanism and serve as a bridge to recovery, and medication cannot be forced upon a patient.
