CA Prop 36: Measure increasing penalties for shoplifting, certain drug crimes expected to pass

California’s Proposition 36, which would increase penalties for certain crimes, was slated to pass at the polls on Tuesday.

With more than 36 percent of ballots counted, the measure was ahead by a 70-30 margin, according to the California Secretary of State’s office.

The measure would make shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders and increase penalties for some drug charges, including those involving the synthetic opioid fentanyl. It would also give judges the authority to order people with multiple drug charges to receive treatment.
