Bill > HB2014

This bill modifies several sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to partial confinement eligibility and sentencing alternatives for incarcerated individuals. Specifically, the bill expands the duration of partial confinement options in two key programs: the parenting program and the graduated reentry program. For the parenting program, the bill increases the maximum period of partial confinement from 12 to 18 months and adds a new category of eligible participants, including individuals expected to take over parental duties. For the graduated reentry program, the bill reduces the minimum time served in total confinement from six to three months for some participants and increases the maximum period of partial confinement from five to nine months. The bill also makes technical changes to language, replacing the term "offender" with "incarcerated individual" throughout the relevant statutes. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for substance use disorder treatment and evaluation for individuals in the graduated reentry program. The changes apply both prospectively and retroactively to individuals currently serving sentences, and certain sections of the bill have specific expiration and effective dates in 2026.
