Kendra's Law is renewed!
June 30, 2005

The improvement and extension of Kendra’s Law for five more years is a victory for mental health advocates throughout New York and a stunning example of how compassion and common sense can trump partisan politics. But most importantly it is a victory for those in New York lost to the symptoms of severe untreated mental illnesses.
