Discouraging gang activity

Changed the definition of 'Gang' from requiring 'commission of one or more criminal acts' to requiring 'commission of one or more qualifying offenses', which are specific serious felonies listed in the code.

Added requirement that gang members must 'engage in or have engaged in qualifying offenses' rather than just 'criminal activity'.

The definition of 'gang' was broadened from requiring 'qualifying offenses' to simply requiring 'criminal acts' and 'criminal activity' for membership.

The list of 'qualifying offenses' was shortened by removing several specific code sections that appeared in the original enrolled version.

Penalty clauses were modified to include redundant words ('shall be is guilty') that do not affect the legal meaning.

Removed certification signatures and official enrollment language from the printed document format.

Added website navigation elements, contact forms, and footer information not present in the original legislative text.

Added a new definition of 'gang' as any ongoing organization of three or more persons engaged in qualifying offenses.

Added a new 'Findings' section (§61-13-1) explaining the legislative intent and justification for the law.

Expanded the list of qualifying offenses to include additional specific code sections beyond the original list.

Clarified that the offense of joining a gang or organized criminal enterprise is separate and distinct from any qualifying offense and may be punished separately.
