Existing law requires the court to order a person who is convicted of a crime to pay restitution to the victim for the full amount of economic loss, except as otherwise provided. Existing law requires the restitution order to be in an amount sufficient to fully reimburse the victim for every determined economic loss incurred as the result of the defendant's criminal conduct. Existing law authorizes the court to order a defendant convicted of a crime to make restitution to the victim for his or her expenses to install or increase residential security, including a home security device or system, or replacing or increasing the number of locks, if those expenses are incurred as a result of a violent felony. This bill would add the willful infliction of corporal injury upon a spouse, cohabitant, or other specified victim to the crimes for which this type of restitution for related home security costs is authorized.
Existing law contains provisions governing the operation and financing of community mental health services for the mentally disordered in every county through locally administered and locally controlled community mental health programs. Existing law further provides that, to the extent resources are available, the primary goal of the use of funds deposited in the mental health account of the local health and welfare trust fund should be to serve specified target populations, including, among others, California veterans in need of mental health services who meet specified eligibility requirements. Existing law prohibits a county from denying county mental health services to an eligible veteran based solely on his or her status as a veteran. Existing law requires a county to refer a veteran to the county veterans service officer, if any, to determine the veteran's eligibility for, and the availability of, mental health services provided by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or any other federal health care provider. This bill would prevent a county from denying an eligible veteran county mental or behavioral health services while the veteran is waiting for a determination of eligibility for, and availability of, mental or behavioral health services provided by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill would make specific findings and declarations about the county's duty to provide mental and behavioral health services to veterans.
