Proposition 47, passed by the People of the State of California, allows certain non-violent felonies to be reduced to misdemeanors after the filing of a petition under Penal Code Section 1170.18.

  • Simple drug possession
  • Petty theft under $950
  • Shoplifting under $950
  • Forgery under $950
  • Receipt of stolen property under $950
  • Writing a bad check under $950
