The Supreme Court today summarily denied the original writ petition in Disability Rights California v. Newsom, which sought to prevent enforcement of the CARE Act, legislation enacted at Governor Gavin Newsom’s urging that, as he described it, establishes “a new framework to get people with mental health and substance use disorders the support and care they need.” There was no recorded dissent.
The petition was filed on January 26. Six days later, the court called for a preliminary opposition to the petition and set an expedited schedule for the initial briefing, which was completed eight weeks ago.
