Description

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that aims to reform how mentally ill people are treated in the state's criminal justice system by offering them treatment rather than prison time. The governor signed Senate Bill 168, also known as the Tristin Murphy Act, on Wednesday morning at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine in Tampa. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/politics/tristin-murphy-act-signed-mental-health-law-desantis-florida/67-6d21a12d-39d8-415b-8c9b-dce3312c292a
