Editorial: Is Florida’s Baker Act being using too often to commit mentally ill kids? Tampa Bay Times Editorial Board, Tampa Bay Times © Amy Beth Bennett/South Florida Sun Sentinel/South Florida Sun Sentinel/TNS In Florida, the Baker Act allows the temporary, involuntary commitment of someone who poses an immediate danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. In the 50 years since Florida’s Baker Act was passed, the law has saved countless people in mental health crisis. It’s also clear the Baker Act and how it’s enforced need updating, yet there is disagreement about whether that would best be accomplished by expanding the law or rolling it back. It’s an important debate to have, and worth taking time to study the data and impacts on Florida’s most vulnerable before changing this key pillar of mental health policy.
