Legislative history
  • Introduced in the Senate as S. 1177 by Ted Kennedy (D–MA) on May 17, 1979
  • Signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on October 7, 1980

The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 (MHSA) was legislation signed by American President Jimmy Carter which provided grants to community mental health centers. In 1981 President Ronald Reagan, who had made major efforts during his governorship to reduce funding and enlistment for California mental institutions, pushed a political effort through the Democratically controlled House of Representatives and a Republican controlled Senate to repeal most of MHSA.[1] The MHSA was considered landmark legislation in mental health care policy.
