It is also limiting prison terms for those associated with street gangs, considering mitigating circumstances in applying sentencing enhancements, and retroactively removing other enhancements for repeat offenders and certain prior drug crimes.

Gotta make room for 'vaccine' deniers and pro-Constitution people.

[BenLurkin]

California legislators are certifiable lunatics.

Sure - pile on more stupid. Let’s see how that works out.
