"In San Francisco we are not delaying," said Mayor London Breed in a statement on X today. "We are prepared to implement our new conservatorship law on day one. We are ready to get people struggling with addiction on our streets into treatment and save lives."
SB43 expands that to also include "a condition in which a person, as a result of a severe substance use disorder, or a co-occurring mental health disorder... [is] unable to provide for their personal safety or necessary medical care... [or] the inability for a person to provide for their personal safety or necessary medical care as a result of chronic alcoholism."
"We can't enforce our way to where we need to go as doctors and as a society," Newsom said. "We have to extend a helping hand."
