Bill > HB1268

This bill makes several changes to sentencing enhancements in Washington state. The key provisions are: - Firearm and deadly weapon enhancements are now mandatory, but the court may order them to run consecutively. Previously, they were mandatory and had to be served concurrently. - The bill removes the provision that prohibited offenders from receiving good time credits or earned release time for portions of their sentence related to deadly weapon enhancements. - The bill repeals RCW 9.94A.833, which provided an enhanced sentence for involving a minor in a felony offense, and RCW 69.50.435, which provided an enhanced sentence for drug offenses committed in certain public places. - The bill makes various other technical and clarifying changes to sentencing provisions related to impaired driving, minor child, and sexual motivation enhancements.
