(Salem, OR) -- A proposed law would reduce jail time for those with mental illness in Oregon. Lawmakers heard a bill Wednesday that would allow the courts to force the Oregon State Hospital to take in mental health patients as opposed to making them wait behind bars for a bed to open up. An investigation into the system showed law enforcement failed to get 200 people into treatment and out of jail over the past year. The Oregon State Hospital says they're currently at capacity with mental health patients. This bill would give court systems one day to find a place for patients in the hospital.
