2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 1.5 - USE OF SECLUSION AND BEHAVIORAL RESTRAINTS IN FACILITIES|Section 1180.1.

1180.1.  For purposes of this division, the following definitions apply:(a) “Behavioral restraint” means “mechanical restraint” or “physical restraint” as defined in this section, used as an intervention when a person presents an immediate danger to self or to others. It does not include restraints used for medical purposes, including, but not limited to, securing an intravenous needle or immobilizing a person for a surgical procedure, or postural restraints, or devices used to prevent injury or to improve a person’s mobility and independent functioning rather than to restrict movement.(b) “Containment” means a brief physical restraint of a person for the purpose of effectively gaining quick control of a person who is aggressive or agitated or who is a danger to self or others.(c) “Mechanical restraint” means the use of a mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the person’s body that he or she cannot easily remove and that restricts the freedom of movement of all or part of a person’s body or restricts normal access to the person’s body, and that is used as a behavioral restraint.(d) “Physical restraint” means the use of a manual hold to restrict freedom of movement of all or part of a person’s body, or to restrict normal access to the person’s body, and that is used as a behavioral restraint. “Physical restraint” is staff-to-person physical contact in which the person unwillingly participates. “Physical restraint” does not include briefly holding a person without undue force in order to calm or comfort, or physical contact intended to gently assist a person in performing tasks or to guide or assist a person from one area to another.(e) “Seclusion” means the involuntary confinement of a person alone in a room or an area from which the person is physically prevented from leaving. “Seclusion” does not include a “timeout,” as defined in regulations relating to facilities operated by the State Department of Developmental Services.(f) “Secretary” means the Secretary of California Health and Human Services.(g) “Serious injury” means significant impairment of the physical condition as determined by qualified medical personnel, and includes, but is not limited to, burns, lacerations, bone fractures, substantial hematoma, or injuries to internal organs.(Amended by Stats. 2008, Ch. 179, Sec. 135.

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 1.5 - USE OF SECLUSION AND BEHAVIORAL RESTRAINTS IN FACILITIES|Section 1180.5.

1180.5.  (a)  A facility described in subdivision (a) of Section 1180.2 or subdivision (a) of Section 1180.3 shall conduct a clinical and quality review for each episode of the use of seclusion or behavioral restraints. (b)  A facility described in subdivision (a) of Section 1180.2 or subdivision (a) of Section 1180.3 shall, as quickly as possible but no later than 24 hours after the use of seclusion or behavioral restraints, conduct a debriefing regarding the incident with the person, and, if the person requests it, the person’s family member, domestic partner, significant other, or authorized representative, if the desired third party can be present at the time of the debriefing at no cost to the facility, as well as with the staff members involved in the incident, if reasonably available, and a supervisor, to discuss how to avoid a similar incident in the future. The person’s participation in the debriefing shall be voluntary. The purposes of the debriefing shall be to do all of the following: (1)  Assist the person to identify the precipitant of the incident, and suggest methods of more safely and constructively responding to the incident. (2)  Assist the staff to understand the precipitants to the incident, and to develop alternative methods of helping the person avoid or cope with those incidents. (3)  Help treatment team staff devise treatment interventions to address the root cause of the incident and its consequences, and to modify the treatment plan. (4)  Help assess whether the intervention was necessary and whether it was implemented in a manner consistent with staff training and facility policies. (c)  The facility shall, in the debriefing, provide both the person and staff the opportunity to discuss the circumstances resulting in the use of seclusion or behavioral restraints, and strategies to be used by the staff, the person, or others that could prevent the future use of seclusion or behavioral restraints. (d)  The facility staff shall document in the person’s record that the debriefing session took place and any changes to the person’s treatment plan that resulted from the debriefing.

CA Health & Safety Code § 11700 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 10.2 - DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT|Section 11700.

11700.  This division shall be known and may be cited as the Drug Dealer Liability Act.(Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 867, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1997.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 11701 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 10.2 - DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT|Section 11701.

11701.  The purpose of this division is to provide a civil remedy for damages to persons in a community injured as a result of the use of an illegal controlled substance. These persons include parents, employers, insurers, governmental entities, and others who pay for drug treatment or employee assistance programs, as well as infants injured as a result of exposure to controlled substances in utero (“drug babies”). This division will enable them to recover damages from those persons in the community who have joined the marketing of illegal controlled substances. A further purpose of this division is to shift, to the extent possible, the cost of the damage caused by the existence of the market for illegal controlled substances in a community to those who illegally profit from that market. The further purpose of this division is to establish the prospect of substantial monetary loss as a deterrent to those who have not yet entered into the distribution market for illegal controlled substances. The further purpose is to establish an incentive for users of illegal controlled substances to identify and seek payment for their own treatment from those dealers who have sold illegal controlled substances to the user in the past.(Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 867, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1997.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 11702 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 10.2 - DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT|Section 11702.

11702.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a)  Although the criminal justice system is an important weapon against the marketing of illegal controlled substances, the civil justice system can and must also be used. The civil justice system can provide an avenue of compensation for those who have suffered harm as a result of the marketing and distribution of illegal controlled substances. The persons who have joined the marketing of illegal controlled substances should bear the cost of the harm caused by that market in the community. (b)  The threat of liability under this division serves as an additional deterrent to a recognizable segment of the network for illegal controlled substances. A person who has assets unrelated to the sale of illegal controlled substances, who markets illegal controlled substances at the workplace, who encourages friends to become users, among others, is likely to decide that the added cost of entering the market is not worth the benefit. This is particularly true for a first-time, casual dealer who has not yet made substantial profits. This division provides a mechanism for the cost of the injury caused by illegal drug use to be borne by those who benefit from illegal drug dealing. (c)  This division imposes liability against all participants in the marketing of illegal controlled substances, including small dealers, particularly those in the workplace, who are not usually the focus of criminal investigations. The small dealers increase the number of users and are the people who become large dealers. These small dealers are most likely to be deterred by the threat of liability. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 867, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1997.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 11704 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 10.2 - DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT|Section 11704.

11704.  (a)  A person who knowingly participates in the marketing of illegal controlled substances within this state is liable for civil damages as provided in this division. A person may recover damages under this division for injury resulting from an individual’s use of an illegal controlled substance. (b)  A law enforcement officer or agency, the state, or a person acting at the direction of a law enforcement officer or agency or the state is not liable for participating in the marketing of illegal controlled substances, if the participation is in furtherance of an official investigation. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 867, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1997.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 11706 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 10.2 - DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT|Section 11706.

11706.  (a) An individual user of an illegal controlled substance may not bring an action for damages caused by the use of an illegal controlled substance, except as otherwise provided in this section. An individual user of an illegal controlled substance may bring an action for damages caused by the use of an illegal controlled substance only if all of the following conditions are met:(1) The individual personally discloses to narcotics enforcement authorities all of the information known to the individual regarding all that individual’s sources of illegal controlled substances.(2) The individual has not used an illegal controlled substance within the 30 days before filing the action.(3) The individual continues to remain free of the use of an illegal controlled substance throughout the pendency of the action.(b) A person entitled to bring an action under this section may seek damages only from a person who manufactured, transported, imported into this state, sold, possessed with intent to sell, furnished, administered, or gave away the specified illegal controlled substance actually used by the individual user of an illegal controlled substance.(c) A person entitled to bring an action under this section may recover only the following damages:(1) Economic damages, including, but not limited to, the cost of treatment, rehabilitation and medical expenses, loss of economic or educational potential, loss of productivity, absenteeism, accidents or injury, and any other pecuniary loss proximately caused by the person’s use of an illegal controlled substance.(2) Reasonable attorney fees.(3) Costs of suit, including, but not limited to, reasonable expenses for expert testimony.(Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 88, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2006.)

11709.  (a)  Two or more persons may join in one action under this division as plaintiffs if their respective actions have at least one market for illegal controlled substances in common and if any portion of the period of use of an illegal controlled substance overlaps with the period of use of an illegal controlled substance for every other plaintiff. (b)  Two or more persons may be joined in one action under this division as defendants if those persons are liable to at least one plaintiff. (c)  A plaintiff need not participate in obtaining and a defendant need not participate in defending against all the relief demanded. Judgment may be given for one or more plaintiffs according to their respective rights to relief and against one or more defendants according to their respective liabilities. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 867, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1997.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 11710 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 10.2 - DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT|Section 11710.

11710.  (a)  An action by an individual user of an illegal controlled substance is governed by the principles of comparative responsibility. Comparative responsibility attributed to the plaintiff does not bar recovery but diminishes the award of compensatory damages proportionally, according to the measure of responsibility attributed to the plaintiff. (b)  The burden of proving the comparative responsibility of the plaintiff is on the defendant, which shall be shown by clear and convincing evidence. (c)  Comparative responsibility shall not be attributed to a plaintiff who is not an individual user of a controlled substance, unless that plaintiff willfully and knowingly gave the individual user money for the purchase of the illegal controlled substance. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 867, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 1997.)

Effective January 1, 1997.)
