California voters could soon get the chance to weigh in on the future of Proposition 47.
Proposition 47 was passed by California voters in 2014. Critics have long stated that the proposition is causing more crime because it loosens the punishment for some nonviolent crimes around theft and drug crimes.
B. Add fentanyl to existing laws that prohibit the possession of hard drugs while armed with a loaded firearm.D. Permit judges to use their discretion to sentence drug dealers to state prison instead of county jail when they are convicted of trafficking hard drugs in large quantities or are armed with a firearm while engaging in drug trafficking.
E. Warn convicted hard drug dealers and manufacturers that they can be charged with murder if they continue to traffic in hard drugs and someone dies as a result. F. Reinstate penalties for hard drug dealers whose trafficking kills or seriously injures a drug user.H. Add new laws to address the increasing problem of"smash-and-grab" thefts that result in significant losses and damage, or that are committed by multiple thieves working together.
The ballot measure recategorized some nonviolent offenses, from felonies to misdemeanors. Now, some local leaders are saying we need to correct what Prop 47 got wrong when it comes to repeat offenders. NBC 7's Kelvin Henry reports on March 23, 2024.
