Bill > HB1668

This bill modifies several aspects of Washington state law related to criminal sentencing, offender scoring, and treatment reporting. Specifically, the bill makes changes to how prior criminal convictions are counted when calculating an offender's criminal history score, adjusting how different types of past convictions are weighted and how long certain convictions remain relevant. The bill introduces new requirements for mental health and substance use disorder treatment providers to report on supervised individuals' treatment compliance to their community corrections officers. Key changes include extending the time periods after which certain Class B and C felony convictions can be excluded from an offender's score (10 years for Class B and 5 years for Class C), and mandating that treatment providers share updates about a supervised individual's treatment plan progress with their community corrections officer if mental health or substance use disorder treatment is a condition of their sentence. The bill also includes provisions that will expire or become effective on specific dates, and includes a funding contingency that will nullify the act if specific funding is not provided by June 30, 2025.
