CRA President and CEO Rachel Michelin “urged the state Legislature to allow felony prosecutions of people who steal less than $950 worth of merchandise. Prop. 47 raised the threshold for the value of stolen goods to trigger a felony from $400 to $950. We know these repeat offenders are coming into the stores, they’re stealing under that threshold. They get a cite and release and they keep doing it. This (federal INFORM Act) isn’t going to impact them.”
