Laura's Law
Laura's Law, (Assembly Bill 1421, Helen Thomson, Davis), which became effective on January 1, 2003, is a California statute that allows for court-ordered outpatient commitment of mental health clients who refuse voluntary treatment with psychotropic medications. The law was named after Laura Wilcox and was modeled on Kendra's Law, a similar statute enacted in New York.
