2011-S1742 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S1742

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the penal law, the civil practice law and rules, the
state finance law, the correction law, the education law, the executive
law and the mental hygiene law, in relation to defining offenses
involving criminal street gangs, creating the criminal street gang
prevention fund, enacting the criminal street gang registration act,
providing for gang prevention services in schools and creating the
office of criminal street gangs and youth violence; and to repeal
sections 120.06 and 120.07 of the penal law, relating to offenses of
gang assault

PURPOSE:
New York laws are insufficiently targeted to the prosecution
of criminal street gangs and the protection of public order and
individual safety against gang-related violence, because they lack
programs and activities specifically designed to prevent the growth
of criminal street gangs, facilitate prosecution and punishment of
members of criminal street gangs, and punish those who solicit others
to participate in criminal street gangs and in acts of gang-related
violence or who provide support or resources to those who commit or
encourage the commission of such acts.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

* Creates Title Y-2 of the Penal Law that governs offenses involving
criminal street gangs.

* Sets forth new penalties and sentencing enhancements for
participation in criminal gang activities:

Participation in a Criminal Street Gang:
Class A Misdemeanor for
participation in a criminal street gang with knowledge that its
members engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang
activity.

Participation in Criminal Street Gang Activity:
E Felony if a person
willfully and knowingly promotes, furthers, assists in, conducts, or
participates in the affairs of a criminal street gang by
participating in a pattern of criminal street gang activity, or
knowingly invests proceeds derived from criminal street gang
activity, or proceeds derived from the investment or use of those
proceeds, in an enterprise.

Solicitation for participation in a Criminal
Street Gang:
E felony
if a person solicits or recruits another to actively participate in a

criminal street gang; or threatens a person with physical violence
with the intent to coerce, induce, or solicit such person or another
to participate in a criminal street gang; or uses physical violence
to coerce, induce, or solicit another person to participate in a
criminal street gang.

Solicitation or recruitment of minors
for participation in a
Criminal Street Gang.
D felony if a person commit the crime of
solicitation for participation in a criminal street gang and the
person solicited or recruited is less than eighteen years of age.

Solicitation or recruitment of minors for
participation in a
Criminal Street Gang on School Grounds:
C felony if the crime of
solicitation or recruitment of minors for participation in a Criminal
Street Gang occurs on school grounds.

Provides stepped up sentencing for certain crimes committed
as part of gang activity

Abatement of premises used for criminal
street an activity:
Allows
abatement and damages if a building or place is used by members of a
criminal street gang for the purpose of engaging in a pattern of
criminal gang activity, except that the court cannot assess a civil
penalty against any person unless that person knew or should have
known of the unlawful acts committed on or in the premises. Requires
that damages be used for neighborhood improvement.

* Creates a fund and requires that forfeiture of monies from criminal
gang activities be placed in it.

o Money is allocated to the support of the Criminal Street Gang
Violence Prevention Program created by this act.

* Creates the Criminal Street Gang Registration Act modeled on the sex
crime offender registration.

* Allows DCJS to create a Criminal Street Gang Database.

* Provides for transfer of gang kingpins out of state, pursuant to
existing interstate compact.

* Creates the Gang Prevention program in the Education Department that
includes in-service training for school personnel.

* Allows establishment of Dress Code re Gang-related Apparel by school
districts.

Allows the governing board of any school district to adopt or
rescind a reasonable dress code policy that requires pupils to wear a
school wide uniform or prohibits pupils from wearing "gang-related
apparel" if the governing board of the school district approves a
plan that may be initiated by an individual school's principal,
staff, and parents and determines that the policy is necessary for
the health and safety of the school environment.

Creates the Criminal Street Gang and Violence Prevention Partnership
grant program to provide services and activities designed to prevent
or deter at-risk youth from participating in gangs, criminal
activity, or violent behavior.

Creates a new Office of Criminal Street Gangs and Youth Violence at
DCJS with vast coordinating powers.

JUSTIFICATION:

The threat of violence and the disruption of public order and safety
presented by criminal street gangs has reached a crisis point that
threatens the right of residents of this state to be secure and
protected from fear, intimidation, and physical harm. There have been
recent reports that gang members recruited girls as young as
15 years of age to serve in gangs.  These girls were forced to
work as teen prostitutes to make money for the gang.

It is in the public interest to establish a comprehensive approach
to protect public order and individual safety against criminal street
gangs and gang-related violence, by severely criminalizing such
activities by creating anti-crime programs that focus on patterns
of criminal gang activity and organization, by expanding education
and intervention to prevent the growth of criminal street gangs,
and by establishing an ongoing system of tracking criminal gang
activity, as provided in this legislation.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.7929 of 2010 - Referred to Codes

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect January 1 of the year next succeeding its
enactment.

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative  findings and purpose. The legislature hereby
finds that New York laws are insufficiently targeted to the  prosecution
of criminal street gangs and the protection of public order and individ-

criminal  street  gangs  and  in  acts  of  gang-related violence or who
provide support or resources  to  those  who  commit  or  encourage  the
commission of such acts.
  The  legislature  further  finds  that  the threat of violence and the
disruption of public order and safety presented by criminal street gangs
has reached a crisis point that threatens the right of residents of this
state to be secure and protected from fear, intimidation,  and  physical
harm.
  The legislature therefore finds and declares that it is in every sense
in  the  public  interest  to  establish a comprehensive approach to the

2011-S1742A (ACTIVE) - Summary

Enacts the criminal street gang enforcement and prevention act; defines offenses; increases penalties; provides for gang prevention programs in schools

2011-S1742A (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S1742A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the penal law, the civil practice law
and rules, the state finance law, the education law, and the mental
hygiene law, in relation to defining offenses involving criminal street
gangs, creating the criminal street gang prevention fund, and providing
for gang prevention services in schools; and to repeal sections 120.06
and 120.07 of the penal law, relating to offenses of gang assault

PURPOSE:  New York laws are insufficiently targeted to the prosecution
of criminal street gangs and the protection of public order and individ-
ual safety against gang-related violence, because they lack programs and
activities specifically designed to prevent the growth of criminal
street gangs, facilitate prosecution and punishment of members of crimi-
nal street gangs, and punish those who solicit others to participate in
criminal street gangs and in acts of gang-related violence or who
provide support or resources to those who commit or encourage the
commission of such acts.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:  Creates Title Y-2 of the Penal Law that governs
offenses involving criminal street gangs.

Sets forth new penalties and sentencing enhancements for participation
in criminal gang activities:

PARTICIPATION IN A CRIMINAL STREET GANG:  Class A Misdemeanor for

participation in a criminal street gang with knowledge that its members
engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity.

PARTICIPATION IN CRIMINAL STREET GANG ACTIVITY:  E Felony if a person
willfully and knowingly promotes, furthers, assists in, conducts, or
participates in the affairs of a criminal street gang by participating
in a pattern of criminal street gang activity, or knowingly invests
proceeds derived from criminal street gang activity, or proceeds derived
from the investment or use of those proceeds, in an enterprise.

SOLICITATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN A CRIMINAL STREET GANG:  E felony if a
person solicits or recruits another to actively participate in a crimi-
nal street gang; or threatens a person with physical violence with the
intent to coerce, induce, or solicit such person or another to partic-
ipate in a criminal street gang; or uses physical violence to coerce,
induce, or solicit another person to participate in a criminal street
gang.

SOLICITATION OR RECRUITMENT OF MINORS for participation in a criminal
Street Gang. D felony if a person commits the crime of solicitation for
participation in a criminal street gang and the person solicited or
recruited is less than eighteen years of age.

SOLICITATION OR RECRUITMENT OF MINORS FOR PARTICIPATION IN A CRIMINAL
STREET GANG ON SCHOOL GROUNDS:

C felony if the crime of solicitation or recruitment of minors for
participation in a Criminal Street Gang occurs on school grounds.

PROVIDES STEPPED UP SENTENCING FOR CERTAIN CRIMES COMMITTED AS PART OF
GANG ACTIVITY

ABATEMENT OF PREMISES USED FOR CRIMINAL STREET AN ACTIVITY:

Allows abatement and damages if a building or place is used by members
of a criminal street gang for the purpose of engaging in a pattern of
criminal gang activity, except that the court cannot assess a civil
penalty against any person unless that person knew or should have known
of the unlawful acts committed on or in the premises. Requires that
damages be used for neighborhood improvement.

* Creates a fund and requires that forfeiture of monies from criminal
gang activities be placed in it.

* Money is allocated to the support of the Criminal Street Gang Violence
Prevention Program created by this act.

* Creates the Gang Prevention program in the Education Department that
includes in-service training for school personnel,

* Allows establishment of Dress Code regarding Gang-related Apparel by
school districts.

Allows the governing board of any school district to adopt or rescind a
reasonable dress code policy that requires pupils to wear a school wide
uniform or prohibits pupils from wearing "gang-related apparel" if the
governing board of the school district approves a plan that may be
initiated by an individual school's principal, staff, and parents and
determines that the policy is necessary for the health and safety of the
school environment.

CREATES THE CRIMINAL STREET GANG AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION PARTNERSHIP
GRANT PROGRAM to provide services and activities designed to prevent or
deter at-risk youth from participating in gangs, criminal activity, or
violent behavior.

JUSTIFICATION:  The threat of violence and the disruption of public
order and safety presented by criminal street gangs has reached a crisis
point that threatens the right of residents of this state to be secure
and protected from fear, intimidation, and physical harm. There have
been recent reports of gang members recruited girls as young as 15 years
of age to serve in gangs. These girls were forced to work as teen pros-
titutes to make money for the gang.

It is in the public interest to establish a comprehensive approach to
protection of protect public order and individual safety against crimi-
nal street gangs and gang-related violence, by severely criminalizing
such activities, by creating anti-crime programs that focus on patterns

of criminal gang activity and organization, by expanding education and
intervention to prevent the growth of criminal street gangs, and by
establishing an ongoing system of tracking criminal gang activity, as
provided in this legislation.

  Section 1. Legislative findings and purpose.  The  legislature  hereby
finds  that New York laws are insufficiently targeted to the prosecution
of criminal street gangs and the protection of public order and individ-
ual safety against gang-related violence, because they lack programs and
activities specifically designed  to  prevent  the  growth  of  criminal
street gangs, facilitate prosecution and punishment of members of crimi-
nal  street gangs, and punish those who solicit others to participate in
criminal street gangs and  in  acts  of  gang-related  violence  or  who
provide  support  or  resources  to  those  who  commit or encourage the
commission of such acts.
  The legislature further finds that the  threat  of  violence  and  the
disruption of public order and safety presented by criminal street gangs
has reached a crisis point that threatens the right of residents of this
state  to  be secure and protected from fear, intimidation, and physical
harm.
  The legislature therefore finds and declares that it is in every sense
in the public interest to establish  a  comprehensive  approach  to  the
protection of public order and individual safety against criminal street
