WNYC News | Dec 3, 2022
This week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams introduced 11 proposals to change the state's mental-hygiene law, and he's asking the Legislature to back him up. It's all part of Adams' plan to involuntarily remove severely mentally ill people from the streets and transport them to hospitals for an evaluation.
WNYC's Albany reporter Jon Campbell joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to look at the proposals and reaction from state lawmakers.
