GOVERNOR NEWSOM SIGNS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER CHRIS
HOLDEN’S YOUTH MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES LEGISLATION
Sacramento, CA – This month,
Assemblymember Chris Holden’s
legislation, Assembly Bill
289, Youth Mental Health Services
Act (MHSA), which will
include youth or youth mental
health organizations in the list of
stakeholder counties must confer
with when developing their three
year expenditure plans under
the Mental Health Services Act,
was signed into law by Governor
Newsom.
“When we are making decisions for the future generation of Californians, it is critical that
their voice and perspectives are heard,” said Assemblymember Chris Holden. “Listening and
providing quality care that is youth informed helps the adults of tomorrow, today.”
Under the MHSA, it falls to our counties to develop their three-year expenditure plans with
local stakeholders, including adults and seniors with severe mental illnesses, their families,
service providers, and law enforcement among many others. This partnership between counties,
constituents, and stakeholders ensures that the expenditure plan is a well-rounded, all-
inclusive response to their community’s behavioral health needs.
This bill would require stakeholders to include sufficient participation of individuals representing
diverse viewpoints, including youth representatives from historically marginalized
communities, representatives from organizations specializing in working with underserved
racially and ethnically diverse communities, and representatives from LGBTQ+ communities.
By requiring counties to consult with additional stakeholders, the bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
“How we respond to the mental health crisis today, will shape who our society becomes in
the future. Our kids need us to drive solutions and this week, with the Governor’s signing,
we are well on our way,” said Holden.
