About this service
Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA)
Proposition 1 was passed by California voters in March 2024. With the passage of Proposition 1, beginning July 1, 2026 the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) will replace the Mental Health Services Act of 2004. While the proposition passed with 50% of the vote statewide, Marin County voted almost 64% in favor.
BHSA reforms behavioral health care funding to prioritize services for people with the most significant mental health needs while adding the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD) and housing interventions. It also creates pathways to ensure equitable access to care by advancing equity and reducing disparities for individuals with behavioral health needs.
Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)
In November 2004, California voters approved Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), intended to expand and transform county mental health services throughout California. While the proposition passed with 54% of the vote statewide, Marin County voted 63% in favor. The MHSA raises additional taxes for the State, which are then allocated to each county.
County MHSA plans are developed with local stakeholders, including individuals living with mental health challenges and their families, providers of services, law enforcement agencies, education, social services agencies, veterans, representatives from veterans' organizations, providers of alcohol and drug services, health care organizations, and other interested community members.
