24  offense resulted in a conviction.

 

25        (b) The presence or absence of multiple offenders, the age

 

26  of the offenders, or the degree of sophistication of the

 

27  organized criminal group is not as important as the fact of the

 

28  group's existence, which may be reasonably inferred from the

 

29  facts surrounding the sentencing offense.

 2  organized criminal group or that are gang-related, do not score

18  controlled substances.

21  into law.

 

22        Enacting section 2. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
