Gov. Gavin Newsom made mental health a priority since he took office five years ago. The ballot initiative voters approved this month will provide billions of dollars to fund housing and treatment facilities for mentally ill Californians.

State Sen. Jim Beall said he’d like to introduce one more mental health parity bill before he terms out—though he’s still working out the details.
