California lawmakers are split on how to best address the retail theft cases that have proliferated in the state.
FILE - Democratic Assembly members, from left, Avelino Valencia, of Anaheim, James Ramos, of Highland, Esmeralda Soria, of Fresno, and Freddie Rodriguez of Pomona, watch as a bill is voted on in the Assembly at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., June 1, 2023.
“Not to say everything about Prop. 47 is hunky-dory and perfect,” Newsom said in January."We want to help fix some of the ambiguities there, but we could do it without reforming or going back to the voters.” Following Newsom's directions, Democratic leaders in both chambers at the Capitol also have shut down calls to repeal the measure. Last month, the state's new Senate President Pro Tempore Mike McGuire, with bipartisan support, introduced a package of legislation that would target auto thefts and large-scale resell schemes and expand diversion programs such as drug courts and treatment services.
But some Democratic lawmakers said those efforts won't be enough to make a difference. Assemblymember James Ramos, who authored bipartisan legislation to increase penalties for repeat shoplifters, said many lawmakers want to see “the pendulum swing back to the middle.” The bill would require voters’ approval.
