Republican lawmakers Sen. Suzette Martinez Valladares from Acton and Assemblymember Josh Hoover from Folsom also introduced measures last month. Hoover’s plan proposed making it a felony to commit burglary or grand theft in an area where there has been a declared state of emergency, local emergency, or which is under an evacuation order. Valladares’ bill would classify a burglary committed during a state of emergency as a felony.
