The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday unanimously to implement Laura’s Law in the country, also known as Assisted Outpatient Treatment or AOT. Laura’s Law was passed in 2002 as AB 1421 and is named after Laura Wilcox, a 19-year-old who was shot and killed in Nevada county by a man with untreated severe mental illness. Elected county officials like Mayor Daryl Steinberg and Supervisor Sue Frost both spoke out, saying that they have since come to support it while they initially opposed Laura’s Law.
