This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law makes petty theft involving merchandise taken from a merchant's premises punishable by a fine of not less than $50 and not more than $1,000, and imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding 6 months. This bill would provide that nothing in that section or any other law precludes a merchant from offering a person suspected of theft an opportunity to complete a precomplaint diversion program in lieu of arrest and criminal prosecution, or informing a person suspected of theft of the criminal civil remedies available to the merchant.
