HB 1091

Momentum Bucket Early Stage
Legal Title AN ACT Relating to sexually violent predators' ineligibility to earn supervision compliance credit;
Bill Description Concerning sexually violent predators' ineligibility to earn supervision compliance credit.
What this bill does
Powered by Legitron
This bill amends RCW 9.94A.717 to establish rules for awarding a "supervision compliance credit" to offenders supervised by the department. It directs the department to develop and adopt procedures for awarding the credit and defines the credit as given to offenders who are in compliance with supervision terms and making progress toward individualized supervision case plan goals, including participation in targeted interventions, risk-related programming, treatment, or completing steps that enhance protective factors and stability, as determined by the department. Under the amendment, an offender who is in compliance with community custody conditions for a month may earn ten days of supervision compliance credit; the credit accrues monthly and cannot be applied to a term of supervision before it is earned. The section lists categories of offenders who are ineligible to earn the credit, citing specific statutes (RCW 9.94A.507; 10.95.030; 9.94A.650; 9.94A.655; 9.94A.660; 9.94A.670; supervision under RCW 9.94A.745; indeterminate sentences subject to parole under RCW 9.95.017; community custody under RCW 9.94A.730) and excludes any cause served concurrently with a less restrictive alternative subject to supervision under RCW 71.09.092. The department and offenders supervised under chapters 9.94A or 9.94B are identified as affected parties. This is a modification of existing law, creating a procedural framework for awarding compliance credit and specifying eligibility and exclusions; it does not create a new crime or change criminal penalties in the text provided. The extracted text does not define "department" or "offender," does not show how this language differs from the prior statute, does not explicitly connect the listed exclusions to the bill title's reference to "sexually violent predators," and contains no effective date or implementation timeline.
Why it matters
Powered by Legitron
If enacted, people on community custody who the department finds are meeting supervision terms and making progress on individualized case plan goals (for example by participating in targeted interventions, programming, or treatment) could earn ten days of supervision compliance credit for each month they remain in compliance, and those credits would accumulate monthly and could shorten the time they remain under supervision once earned. However, the credit expressly would not be available to people convicted or sentenced under the particular statutes listed in the bill and to anyone serving a cause concurrently with a less restrictive alternative under RCW 71.09.092, so many people with the most serious or specific statutorily excluded cases would not benefit. The department would be responsible for developing and adopting procedures and for determining who qualifies, which creates a definitive administrative workload to track compliance and award credits; the bill text here does not define "department" or "offender," does not show the prior version being changed, and gives no effective date, so the timing and some implementation details (including whether exclusions explicitly cover "sexually violent predators" as referenced in the title) are unclear.
