California Governor signs bill reinstating strict penalties for large-scale thefts and smash-and-grab robberies.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Assembly Bill 1960, reinstating strict penalties for large-scale thefts and smash-and-grab robberies. The law mandates harsher sentences for those damaging property worth over $50,000 during felonies and will remain effective until 2030. This bipartisan measure aims to combat theft and increase penalties for repeat offenders, while critics express concerns about its potential to increase incarceration for non-retail crimes.
