Mental Health Boards and Commissions (MHB/C) were created in 1957 when the State of California passed the Short-Doyle Act that made counties responsible for providing treatment for the mentally ill through a community-based and community-oriented mental health system. These boards are the fundamental way to have oversight of the administration and provision of county mental health services.
