Proposition 47, also known by its ballot title Criminal Sentences. Misdemeanor Penalties. Initiative Statute, was a referendum passed by voters in the state of California on November 4, 2014. The measure was also referred to by its supporters as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. It recategorized some nonviolent offenses as misdemeanors, rather than felonies, as they had previously been categorized.


This was put on the ballot by the politicians. Look what they called it. Their ads lied about what a yes vote would do (I voted no).

Yes, Californians voted for it but I don’t think those voting “yes” knew what it would really do.
