City Council

B. Resolution No. 2024-18 in Support of the Homelessness, Drug Addition, and Theft Reduction Act At the request of adoption of Resolution No. 2024-18 in support of the proposed Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act. Under the new proposal, “an offender with two prior convictions for theft can be charged with a felony, regardless of the value of the stolen property.” It would also allow prosecutors to add together the value of property stolen across multiple thefts to exceed the $950 threshold for a felony charge and create harsher punishments for organized retail theft rings. The initiative may appear on the Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions: 1. Discuss and provide further direction to City staff; and 2. Consider the adoption of Resolution No. 2024-18, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE HOMELESSNESS, DRUG ADDICTION, AND THEFT REDUCTION ACT
