SAN JOSE — Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen says he continues to support Proposition 47, the landmark reform law credited with keeping low-level offenders out of overcrowded prisons, and which could soon be declawed by a ballot measure that blames the law for enabling rampant serial theft and related crimes.

Rosen was one of just three California district attorneys to endorse Proposition 47, which voters passed in 2014. This November, voters will be presented with Proposition 36, which aims to amend the existing law by undoing the $950 threshold for theft to be charged as a felony and stiffening punishments for drug dealing that has fueled the fentanyl and opioid crises.
