Proposition 36 enables prosecutors to pursue treatment-mandated felonies for third-time drug offenses, targeting underlying substance use disorders while enforcing tougher penalties.
The law now obligates courts to inform drug offenders about potential murder charges if their actions lead to death, emphasizing accountability for drug-related crimes.
New legal measures may increase sentences for repeat theft offenders, allowing up to three years in prison for those convicted of petty theft multiple times.
This legislative change partially reverses previous reforms, indicating a shift towards more stringent enforcement against drug and theft-related offenses in California.
