🎉 Great news out of Georgia! 🎉

#HB1013 has passed! Among other major reforms, the bill establishes a 3-year/5-site #AOT grant program and vastly improves the law allowing police to detain a person in mental health crisis for evaluation. https://t.co/rYIADmzY1F

Applause erupts through the Senate Chamber as #hb1013 passes unanimously. #gapol

[Scot Turner @Scot23]

Hearing a lot of consternation re HB1013, the mental health bill. Haven’t read it which is a luxury of no longer being in the House. But I do know this; it’s an important issue & needs to be dealt with & I know the people who voted for it. They don’t mean harm.

[Informed Georgians for Justice @InformedGA]

HB1013 is a BIG deal! Georgia is LAST in mental health resources and this bill goes a long way towards funding the resources that we need. More mental health resources means less people in jails and prisons. PLEASE call your elected officials TODAY!

[NAMI Georgia @namigeorgia]

We need your help. The GA Mental Health Parity Act (HB1013) is in the Senate Health and Human Services Sub Committee. They will hold a hearing on Wednesday, March 23rd at 3 pm.
