Californians will decide the fate of Proposition 36, a measure that seeks to increase punishments for some theft and drug possession offenses.
Prop 36 may be one of the most divisive state ballot measures in 2024 with some Democratic figures supporting the measure that would potentially undo a previously voter-approved proposition.What’s notable about Prop 36 is that it would undo some of the key provisions from Prop 47, which California ns voted to pass in 2014 to address prison overcrowding by reclassifying some theft and drug-related offenses as misdemeanors.
While some Democratic leaders including Gov. Gavin Newsom publicly oppose it over the concern that it would further harm Black and Brown communities, others like former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is running for governor, support Prop 36 in alliance with police unions and business groups.: Under Prop 47, theft crimes such as shoplifting and burglary involving items that are valued less than $950 are classified as misdemeanors.
🗳️ Prop 36 is key to tackling CA’s fentanyl crisis! It holds drug dealers accountable & offers treatment for those struggling with addiction. Voteby Public Policy Institute of California revealed more than 70% of likely voters in California said they would vote yes on Prop 36. The figure suggests many Democratic-leading voters who may have voted to lessen crime penalties in 2014 are changing their minds.
