Under Proposition 47 passed last year, more than 700,000 convicted felons in L.A. County are eligible to have their non-violent crimes downgraded to misdemeanors. But fewer than 50,000 have applied, leaving the rest unable to access a host of rehab services. An ordinance approved Tuesday by L.A. County supervisors aims to help eligible felons connect with legal aid, job help and other services.
