| The Bishop’s Commission on Gospel Justice and Community Care are urging California clergy and laity to join a letter-writing campaign for senate action on the Miles Hall Lifeline Act in the state legislature.
The recent launch of the national 9-8-8 mental health crisis phone line, now accessible by every phone in the United States, has increased the interest in AB 988, the Miles Hall Lifeline Act in the California legislature, notes Sister Patricia Sarah Terry, commission chair.
Passage of this bill has been supported by mental health organizations, many police departments, and the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times.
AB 988 went before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, Aug. 1, and the meeting can be viewed here. If the bill passed Appropriations, it would go to the Senate floor for a vote by all senators. |
