Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, along with other legislators, presented a bipartisan package of bills aimed at making it easier for law enforcement and prosecutors to combat retail theft. The bills focus on creating new crimes, such as possessing stolen property with intent to sell.
California Assembly Democrats are treading carefully to avoid reverting to punitive sentencing laws while responding to pressure from law enforcement and retail groups regarding retail theft. Proposals aim to strike a balance, but concerns exist from criminal justice reform advocates about potential impacts on incarceration rates.
