ESSB 5122 - H AMD TO CYF COMM AMD (H-1307.1/21) 552

By Representative Young

On page 2, after line 8 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"In as much as it is common knowledge and common sense that the illicit and evil actors in our society will always seek to bend, break, or look for loopholes in the law to pursue illegal ends; and while it is also widely known and historically demonstrated that criminal organizations exist in all walks of life and are consistently seeking to expand their enterprises and recruit new members, especially influential youth, to further their criminal endeavors; and while this bill creates a loophole for crimes committed by youth, even if set-up, organized, or otherwise promoted by adults or organizations; this act may be known and cited as the mafia, cartel, and gang youth recruitment act of 2021."
