California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law that allows for the detention and forced treatment of more Californians with untreated mental illness and addiction issues. The aim of the law is to address the state's growing homelessness crisis. The legislation expands the criteria for involuntary treatment, making it easier for authorities to compel individuals to seek help for their mental illness or addiction. The move has been met with both support and criticism. Supporters argue that it will provide much-needed assistance to those who are unable or unwilling to seek treatment on their own. Critics, on the other hand, express concerns about civil liberties and the potential for abuse of power. The law is seen as a response to the increasing number of people experiencing severe mental illness and substance abuse in the state.
