Campaign Zero worked with partners to advance groundbreaking legislation making California the first state to outlaw the use of “excited delirium” as a medical diagnosis.

The ban resonates with the nationwide discrediting of “excited delirium” by major medical associations, acknowledging the term’s misuse and the urgent need for its abolition. This change not only reflects a growing awareness but also a significant stride in holding law enforcement accountable, making it a pivotal moment not just for California but for the entire nation.
