California Mental Health Planning Council: name change.

Summary

Existing law establishes the California Mental Health Planning Council for the purpose of fulfilling certain mental health planning requirements mandated by federal law. Existing law, the Bronzan-McCorquodale Act, contains provisions governing the operation and financing of community mental health services for persons with mental health disorders in every county through locally administered and locally controlled community mental health programs. Existing law, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, provides for the involuntary commitment and treatment of persons with specified mental health disorders for the protection of the persons so committed. This bill would rename the council as the California Behavioral Health Planning Council, including for purposes of the Bronzan-McCorquodale Act, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) , and mental health managed care.
