Modifying sentencing laws related to property crimes and other crimes and implementing recommendations of the Washington state justice reinvestment task force.

Summary

  • Creates a new felony property offense sentencing grid with reduced standard ranges.
  • Imposes 12 months of community custody for a felony property offense when the offender has an offender score of two or more.
  • Limits the length of time the Department of Corrections (DOC) is authorized to supervise an offender on community custody to the duration ordered by the court or specified by statute.
  • Authorizes the DOC to award positive achievement time to offenders who are in compliance with supervision terms, which may reduce their period of community supervision.
  • Requires the Sentencing Guidelines Commission to review and report to the Legislature on: (1) property crime rates; (2) impacts on offenders sentenced under the new property crime grid; (3) recidivism rates; and (4) the law enforcement grant program.
