Yolo County Law Enforcement Officials Stand United to Enforce Prop. 36 Laws
(Woodland, CA) - December 19, 2024 Yesterday, December 18, 2024, California Proposition 36 went into effect. Prop. 36, which was resoundingly passed by the voters of the State of California on November 5, 2024, restores public safety tools that were removed when California Prop. 47 was passed in 2014.
Yolo County law enforcement officials stand united to immediately enforce the laws that were amended or created by Prop. 36. Among the key provisions are: mandated treatment for individuals who are charged with their third drug possession offense; elevate theft offenses to felonies after a second conviction; aggregating multiple thefts to meet the felony threshold amount of $950; and advising convicted drug dealers that if they continue to sell drugs and someone dies, they can be charged with murder. Voters in every single California county passed Prop. 36 and, in doing so, it restored the ability to achieve the objective of holding people accountable for their actions and mandating services to those who are severely addicted or mentally ill.
