GovernorGavin Newsom first proposed the bond measure in March 2023 to help modernize the state's mental health system, as well as reform theCalifornia Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) that was originally passed by voters as Proposition 63 in 2004.[ 5] Susan Eggman then introduced the proposal in the state legislature, where it was then approved in September 2023.[ 6]
