flag California expands CARE Court to include bipolar I patients with psychosis, but rollout has been limited.

flag California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law expanding CARE Court eligibility to include people with bipolar I disorder who have psychotic features, aiming to improve access to mental health treatment. flag The expansion, backed by bipartisan support, streamlines court processes and allows referrals from the criminal justice system. flag Despite initial projections, the program has reached only a few hundred people, raising concerns among advocates and county officials about capacity, effectiveness, and lack of evidence on outcomes. flag The state has not provided definitive data on how many more individuals will qualify.
