SB 6151: High-risk sex offenders

Revising provisions relating to high-risk sex offenders. (REVISED FOR ENGROSSED: Revising provisions relating to sex offenders.)

Summary

  • $ DSHS may site and operate a 24-bed secure community transition facility and relocate the 404-bed Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island exempt from inconsistent comprehensive plans or development regulations.
  • $ Additional secure community transition facilities that meet the siting criteria may be located after coordination with local governments related to comprehensive plans and development regulations and public participation in the siting decision. There is an incentive plan to encourage rapid siting.
  • $ Operational requirements are established for facilities both on McNeil Island and in other parts of the state.
  • $ Indeterminate sentencing for certain high-risk sex offenders is restored with a minimum term equal to the current determinate sentence and a maximum term equal to the statutory maximum for the crime. The ISRB has authority for these offenders and they are subject to the Offender Accountability Act provisions, except that in some cases community custody may be revoked or not granted.
  • $ Several strike offenses and their attempts become Class A felonies.
  • A new Class A felony of sexually violent predator escape is created under indeterminate sentencing. The elements of sexual misconduct with a minor are modified.
