Florida Rep. Patt Maney seeks to reform state's 50-year-old Baker Act law


TALLAHASSEE — In his first legislative session, state Rep. Patt Maney took on something no other lawmaker has had much luck tackling: a thorough overhaul of statutes governing the Baker and Marchman acts.
The Baker Act, passed in 1971, governs involuntary commitments based on mental health. The Marchman Act, passed in 1993, allows similar action to be taken in cases involving alcohol addiction or substance abuse. 
"These laws have been subject to numerous revisions since their enactments, but their fundamental structure has remained unchanged despite numerous case law and scientific developments," Maney's introduction to House Bill 405 states. "This proposal represents the first comprehensive reform of Florida's civil commitment system to reflect these developments."

NONPROFIT REGISTER | Mental Health Colorado to hold virtual criminal justice summit


Denver, CO
News: Mental Health Colorado will host the Colorado Counties Virtual Summit on Mental Health and Criminal Justice on Feb. 4 to discuss policies that touch on law enforcement's intersection with people suffering from unmanaged mental health needs.
"Police and sheriffs feel stuck in the awkward position of being the only game in town when it comes to mental health crisis response and providing secure transportation and in-patient settings and they are some of our best co-advocates for passing laws and changing practices so that jails and prisons don’t remain the state’s primary mental health facilities," said Vincent Atchity, the group's CEO and president.
