Sacramento County Adopts Jan. 1, 2025, as SB 43 Implementation Date

Who

  • Health care facilities and partners in and around Sacramento County
  • What

    When Senate Bill (SB) 43 was signed on Oct. 10, 2023, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, along with all but two counties in the state, chose to postpone the Jan. 1, 2024, implementation date — this way, the counties could assess their overall readiness from a behavioral health standpoint to accommodate expanding the definition of “gravely disabled” for purposes of placing a person on an involuntary psychiatric hold or a conservatorship.
