section:

      (a) Must not exceed the sentence imposed for the

crime; and

      (b) Runs consecutively with the sentence

prescribed by statute for the crime.

separate offense but provides an additional penalty for the primary offense,

whose imposition is contingent upon the finding of the prescribed fact.

      4.  The court shall not impose an

additional penalty pursuant to this section unless:

      (a) The indictment or information charging the

defendant with the primary offense alleges that the primary offense was

committed knowingly for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in affiliation

subsection, the court shall not grant probation to or suspend the sentence of

any person convicted of a felony committed for the benefit of, at the direction

of, or in affiliation with, a criminal gang if an additional term of

imprisonment may be imposed for that primary offense pursuant to this section.

The court may, upon the receipt of an appropriate motion, reduce or suspend the

sentence imposed for the primary offense if it finds that the defendant

rendered substantial assistance in the arrest or conviction of any other

principals, accomplices, accessories or coconspirators to the crime, or of any

other persons involved in the commission of a felony which was committed for

the benefit of, at the direction of, or in affiliation with, a criminal gang.

The agency which arrested the defendant must be given an opportunity to support

or oppose such a motion before it is granted or denied. If good cause is shown,

the motion may be heard in camera.

      7.  In any proceeding to determine whether

an additional penalty may be imposed pursuant to this section, expert testimony

gangs;

      (f) Codes of conduct, including criminal conduct,

of particular criminal gangs; and

      (g) The types of crimes that are likely to be

committed by a particular criminal gang or by criminal gangs in general.

      8.  As used in this section, “criminal

gang” means any combination of persons, organized formally or informally, so

constructed that the organization will continue its operation even if individual

members enter or leave the organization, which:

      (a) Has a common name or identifying symbol;

      (b) Has particular conduct, status and customs

indicative of it; and

      (c) Has as one of its common activities engaging

in criminal activity punishable as a felony, other than the conduct which

constitutes the primary offense.

bodily harm to the victim was committed with the intent to commit, cause, aid,

further or conceal an act of terrorism, the felony may be deemed a category A

person who, in an unsuccessful attempt to commit one crime, does commit another

and different one, from the punishment prescribed for the crime actually

committed. A person may be convicted of an attempt to commit a crime, although

it appears on the trial that the crime was consummated, unless the court in its

discretion discharges the jury and directs the defendant to be tried for the

crime itself.

provide information concerning the individual subscriber or customer that the

provider of Internet service is required to disclose pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §

2703.

      3.  If a person who has been issued a

subpoena pursuant to subsection 2 charges a fee for providing the information,

the fee must not exceed the actual cost for providing the information.

subpoena pursuant to subsection 2 refuses to produce any information that the

subpoena requires, the person who issued the subpoena may apply to the district

court for the judicial district in which the investigation is being carried out

for the enforcement of the subpoena in the manner provided by law for the enforcement

of a subpoena in a civil action.
