Furthering his commitment to fight gang violence in California, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today signed SB 1126 by Senator Gilbert Cedillo (D-Los Angeles), which makes it easier to hold gang members personally liable for harm to the community caused by their gang. 

“We are taking a comprehensive and coordinated approach to combat the influence of gangs in our communities and make our streets safer. This legislation strengthens our statewide anti-gang efforts by giving prosecutors more tools to fight gang activity at the local level,” Governor Schwarzenegger said.
