HB 2215: Gang-related crime
Increasing penalties for gang-related offenses.
Summary
- Finds that the destruction and fear generated by gangs in many communities have greatly elevated the critical importance of enacting effective measures to combat gang-related crime. Communities overwhelmed by violent gang activity must have relief from the blight of gang crime before revitalization, initiatives to strengthen families, school improvements, and other desired interventions can succeed.
