Local
Government:
Fines and
Penalties.
Current law authorizes the legislative
body of a local agency, as defined, to
make, by ordinance, a violation of an
ordinance subject to an administrative
fine or penalty, as specified. Existing law
requires the local agency to set forth by
ordinance the administrative procedures
that govern the imposition, enforcement,
collection, and administrative review by
the local agency of those administrative
fines or penalties. Current law authorizes
a person contesting a final administrative
order or decision to seek review by filing
an appeal to be heard by the superior
court, as specified. This bill would
authorize a local agency to establish, by
ordinance, a procedure to collect those
administrative fines or penalties by lien

Crimes: Larceny Proposition 47 makes the theft of money, labor, or property petty theft punishable
as a misdemeanor, whenever the value of
the property taken does not exceed
$950. If the value exceeds $950, the theft
is grand theft, punishable as a
misdemeanor or a felony. Proposition 47
requires shoplifting (if the value of the
property taken does not exceed $950), to
be punished as a misdemeanor. This bill
would clarify that those values may be
aggregated even though the thefts
occurred in different places or from
