California's Proposition 36 Enforces Tougher Penalties for Retail Theft
- California voters passed Proposition 36, a tough-on-crime ballot question, in response to concerns about shoplifting across the state.
- The proposition reclassifies shoplifting and other non-violent crimes as felonies after a third arrest, rolling back part of a 2014 law.
- Proposition 36 increases penalties for some drug charges, including those involving the synthetic opioid fentanyl.
- Opponents argue that it will disproportionately imprison poor people and those with substance use issues, rather than target organized crime.
