Proposition 36 passed in November 2024 and took effect in December 2024, allowing shoplifting of items valued at $950 or less to be charged as a felony for individuals with two or more prior theft convictions, or when multiple thefts are aggregated. This directly leads to shoplifting being counted as a felony more frequently, validating the prediction.
