AI Summary

This bill would reinstate provisions that were repealed by Proposition 47, which allowed for increased penalties for individuals with prior convictions of certain crimes, including petty theft, grand theft, and shoplifting, who are subsequently convicted of petty theft or shoplifting. Specifically, the bill would allow for imprisonment in a county jail or state prison for those who have been convicted three or more times of the specified crimes, or who have prior convictions for serious, violent, or sexual offenses. The bill would also make these provisions applicable to shoplifting offenses. Additionally, the bill requires that the provisions amending the initiative statute (Proposition 47) be placed on the ballot for the November 5, 2024, statewide general election.
