Californians for Safer Communities collected over 900,000 signatures to amend Proposition 47, blaming it for higher retail theft and addiction issues. The initiative seeks to raise penalties for specific drug and theft crimes.
Proposition 47 previously reduced penalties for certain crimes, such as setting a $950 threshold for misdemeanor shoplifting. Critics argue that this led to a rise in theft-related incidents, prompting the push for amendments.
