Criteria for Determining Criminal Gang Membership

Summary

HB 429 revises Florida’s definition of “criminal gang member,” requiring a person to meet at least two of a list of observable behaviors or identifications. It also creates a definition for “gang‑related language” and lets local jails optionally assign staff to assess inmates and report findings. The changes aim to standardize how authorities identify gang affiliation.
