Background
California Government Code Sections 6500 through 6536 permit two or more public agencies by agreement to jointly exercise powers common to the contracted parties. In collaboration with the California Mental Health Directors Association (“CMHDA”), a Joint Exercise of Powers Authority (“JPA”) was developed to administer the statewide training, technical assistance, and capacity building of the Proposition 63 Mental Health Services Act (“MHSA”) Prevention and Early Intervention (“PEl”) programs, as well as other programs as needed.
