2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 1416
Introduced by Senator Newman |

An act relating to retail theft.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1416, as introduced, Newman.
Retail theft.
Existing law, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, enacted as an initiative statute by Proposition 47, as approved by the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election, makes the theft of money, labor, or property petty theft punishable as a misdemeanor, whenever the value of the property taken does not exceed $950. Under existing law, if the value of property taken exceeds $950, the theft is grand theft, punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony. Existing law defines shoplifting as entering a commercial establishment with intent to commit larceny while the establishment is open during regular business hours and prohibits prosecution for an act of shoplifting under any other law.
This bill would state the Legislature’s intent to enact legislation relating to retail theft.
