Proposition 36, Drug and Theft Crime Penalties and Treatment-Mandated Felonies

November 5, 2024 California General Election
Description:

A "yes" vote supports making changes to Proposition 47 approved in 2014, including:

classifying certain drug offenses as treatment-mandated felonies;

increasing penalties for certain drug crimes by increasing sentence lengths and level of crime;

requiring courts to warn individuals convicted of distributing illegal drugs of their potential future criminal liability if they distribute deadly drugs like fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine; and

increasing sentences for theft based on the value of the property stolen.

A "no" vote opposes this initiative that makes changes to Proposition 47 (2014), thereby maintaining certain drug and theft crimes as misdemeanors.
