Lake County Behavioral Health Services, led by Director Elise Jones, opposes a state budget change that would shift Mobile Crisis non-federal costs to counties. Jones and Sheriff-Coroner Luke Bingham argue the shift risks reducing county response capacity, straining law enforcement, emergency departments, and the jail. They stress that maintaining the statewide Medi-Cal benefit and Mobile Crisis professionals is essential, citing the program’s 990 field responses between June 2024 and June 2025.
