 Introduced  by  Sen.  GOLDEN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules,  the  penal  law,  the
   state  finance  law  and  the  education  law, in relation to defining
   offenses involving criminal street gangs, creating the criminal street
   gang prevention fund, and providing for gang  prevention  services  in

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1.  This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New  York
 State criminal street gang act".
   §  2.  Legislative  findings and purpose. The legislature hereby finds
 that preservation of public order and improvement of  individual  safety
 and  security can be improved by a comprehensive, targeted, and systemic
 enhancement of state laws applicable to criminal street gangs and  their
 activities  in  order  to  prevent  the growth of such gangs, facilitate
 prosecution and punishment of  their  members  for  unlawful  acts,  and
 punish those who solicit others to participate in such gangs and in acts
 of  gang-related  violence  and  unlawfulness  or who provide support or
 resources to those who commit or encourage the commission of such acts.
   The legislature therefore declares it to be  in  every  sense  in  the
 public   interest   to  establish  the  comprehensive  approach  to  the
 protection of public order and individual safety  enacted  by  this  act
 that  will enhance prosecution and punishment of the unlawful activities
 of criminal street gangs, prevent their growth and  ability  to  recruit
 members,  and  expand  effective  anti-gang  education  and intervention
 activities by the state and its localities.
   § 3. Paragraph (g) of subdivision 2 of section 1349 of the civil prac-
 tice law and rules, as amended by chapter 398 of the laws  of  2004,  is
 amended to read as follows:
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD03824-01-7
