This bill amends existing law in RCW 9.94A.533 (and 2024 c 301 s 28) to modify and restate multiple mandatory sentencing enhancements and how standard sentence ranges are calculated and applied. It changes procedures for computing standard ranges for anticipatory offenses (attempt, solicitation, conspiracy) by setting those ranges at 75% of the grid range for the completed crime, and it sets or clarifies numerous mandatory, consecutive enhancements that add fixed time to the standard sentence range for specified circumstances. The amendments specify firearm enhancements (for felonies committed after July 23, 1995) of 5 years for class A or ≥20-year felonies, 3 years for class B or 10-year felonies, and 18 months for class C or 5-year felonies, with doubling where a prior deadly-weapon or firearm enhancement applies; analogous deadly-weapon (nonfirearm) enhancements are 2 years, 1 year, and 6 months respectively, also subject to doubling in some prior-enhancement situations. The section also imposes additional mandatory consecutive months for offenses committed in county jails or state correctional facilities (18, 15, or 12 months for listed controlled-substance offenses), a 24-month enhancement for certain chapter 69.50 offenses that also violate RCW 69.50.435 or 9.94A.827, two-year per-prior impaired-driving enhancements for vehicular homicide under the influence, sexual-motivation enhancements (2 years/18 months/1 year by class with doubling for prior enhancements), a 12-month (or 24-month) enhancement for organized retail theft based on property value ($20,000+ / $50,000+), one-year enhancements for specified sex-for-fee offenses and related anticipatory offenses, a 125% grid multiplier for certain gang-related felonies involving compensation, threat, or solicitation of a minor (with listed exceptions), and 12-month-per-child enhancements for DUI/vehicular crimes with child passengers under 16. Many of these enhancements are mandatory, served in total confinement, run consecutively to other sentencing provisions, and are calculated before earned early release credits; if an enhancement would push a sentence beyond a statutory maximum, the statutory maximum is presumptive unless the offender is a persistent offender and enhancement portions may not be reduced in specified circumstances. The bill also allows extraordinary medical placement or release under RCW 9.94A.728(1)(c) or 9.94A.730 even where a mandatory minimum term has not expired. The text provided is incomplete in places: a subsection is cut off mid-sentence, earlier subsections and full definitions or cross-referenced text are not shown, and the connection between the bill title ("Relating to organized retail theft") and only the sentencing amendments presented here is not fully visible. Dates shown in the provided facts include applicability dates for firearm/deadly-weapon enhancements (after July 23, 1995), sexual-motivation enhancements (on or after July 1, 2006), and a listed effective reference for a one-year enhancement for certain sex-for-fee offenses (on or after July 22, 2007).

If enacted, the bill makes many sentence enhancements mandatory and consecutive for a wide range of crimes—adding fixed months for use of firearms or other deadly weapons, doubling enhancements when similar prior enhancements exist, adding time for offenses committed in jails or prisons, for sexual-motivation crimes, for organized retail theft based on dollar thresholds ($20,000 = +12 months; $50,000 = +24 months), for gang-related use of minors (125% of the grid), and for children riding in vehicles in DUI/vehicular crimes. The practical result will likely be longer actual prison terms for people convicted of these offenses, less ability to reduce enhancement portions even when the total would exceed statutory maximums, and preserved narrow options for extraordinary medical placement or release under existing statutes. Those most affected are defendants convicted of the listed felonies, prosecutors who can seek these added terms, sentencing judges who must apply or account for the mandatory consecutive time (with limited departure authority), and corrections agencies that would need to manage longer total confinement and medical-placement requests. The text provided is truncated in places, so details about some exceptions, the full structure of the subsection being amended, and certain citation formatting are unclear and may affect how these rules operate in practice.
