Stanislaus County residents are invited to learn more about Laura’s Law and voice any concerns or questions they may have about the provision of mental health care in the area during two community meetings in Modesto this month. Laura’s Law, which was adopted by the state in 2002, allows for court-ordered assisted outpatient treatment for people with serious mental disorders. Individual counties throughout California have the power to decide whether or not to implement the law, and Stanislaus County officials are currently exploring the issue, putting together a fact-finding process to determine if Laura’s Law would benefit the area.
