"Laura's Law provides an effective tool to help people who are in serious danger of being involuntarily hospitalized or incarcerated or worse.  The impact of Laura’s Law interventions has been proven to save people from severe mental health deterioration, increase voluntary participation in their own mental health care, increase personal and social stability, decrease the need for crisis intervention and saving of lots of taxpayer money. There is no good reason to not implement Laura’s Law.  In fact, under the current circumstances (considering the budget issues and standards of care) the failure to utilize Laura’s Law might be considered negligent."
