The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) was passed by California voters in 2004 and funded by a 1% income tax on personal income over $1 million per year. It was designed to expand and transform California’s behavioral health system to better serve individuals with, and at risk of, serious mental health issues, and their families. MHSA addressed a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention, and service needs and the necessary staff training, technology, and resources that make these services possible. In 2024, voters passed Proposition 1, which replaced the MHSA with the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) and introduced several important changes for counties.
