Summary
Existing law, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, enacted by Proposition 47, as approved by the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election, reduced the penalties for various crimes. Under the provisions of the act, a person who, on November 5, 2014, was serving a sentence for a conviction of a felony or felonies who would have been guilty of a misdemeanor under the act if the act had been in effect at the time of the conviction may petition or apply to have the sentence reduced in accordance with the act. Existing law requires those petitions to be filed on or before November 4, 2022, or at a later date upon showing of good cause.
Proposition 47 authorizes its provisions to be amended by a statute that is consistent with and furthers its intent and that is passed by a 23 vote of each house of the Legislature.
This bill would amend Proposition 47 to remove that deadline and the showing of good cause requirement.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
