The Prop. 36/SACPA (Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act) was on the ballot in November 2000. The voters passed it by about 60%, and the law went into effect in July 2001. SACPA mandates alcohol and other drug treatment instead of jail for first and second non-violent drug offenses. For further information, please contact Steve Maggetti at 408-295-3636.
