Organizations once opposed to a change in Milwaukee's mental health system — including the nurses union and the state's disability rights organization — are now embracing the legislation that passed the Assembly early Friday on an 89-1 vote.
The bill, which won unanimous support in the Senate on March 11, strips the Milwaukee County Board of authority over mental health care policy and establishes a mental health board of medical professionals and others with experience in the system. It is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker as soon as next week.
