A California bill would provide free mental health services to young survivors of gun violence, but lawmakers have yet to identify a funding source. - Only 37% of child survivors receive mental health care within six months of a shooting.
- Assembly Bill 2247 would establish a pilot program in Alameda, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Solano counties. - The bill aims to remove cost and insurance barriers, but currently has no funding.
The legislation now heads to the Senate for discussion.
