California theft law changed significantly following the coming into force of Proposition 47, which introduced new regulations on the classification of theft related offences.
The law reclassified what theft crimes constitutes a felony or misdemeanor, primarily setting threshold on the monetary value on a stolen item to qualify the offence as a misdemeanor or felony and in some cases, removing the discretionary powers granted prosecutors and juries on when to charge a suspect with misdemeanor or felony for theft crimes.
The California theft law also gives people already serving time or previously served time to apply for resentencing using the new guidelines and having their criminal records changed to reflect the new rules.
13 months following the introduction of the new law, over 200,000 applications had been received for resentencing.
