As the California legislature works to reform a decade-old law that politicians on both sides of the aisle predominantly oppose, claiming it has destroyed the Golden State, Vice President Kamala Harris is a “critical” supporter of the measure.
Fox News reported that the law, Proposition 47, was introduced in 2024 and reclassifies multiple felonies, such as retail and property theft, as misdemeanors.
The law classifies petty theft of goods valued below $950 as a misdemeanor. This classification also corresponds to multiple offenses.
Proposition 47 also converted a slew of felonies dealing with narcotics possession to misdemeanors.
In 2023, the California legislature worked together to introduce a bill to amend Proposition 47, called the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act.
