Forensic Conditional Release Program.

Existing law provides that the State Department of Mental Health shall provide mental health treatment and supervision in the community for judicially committed persons, as specified. Existing law provides that the department may provide these services directly or through contract with private providers or counties, including administrative and ancillary services related to the provision of direct services. Existing law provides that the program established and administered by the department to provide services pursuant to this authority shall be known as the Forensic Conditional Release Program. This bill would authorize programs providing services pursuant to this provision to inform local enforcement agencies of the names and addresses of program participants in the law enforcement agency's jurisdiction. The bill would specify that providing this notice does not relieve a person or entity of any statutory duty.
