Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to residential restrictions for conditional 2 release to a less restrictive alternative; and amending RCW 3 71.09.096. 4

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing law regarding residential restrictions for individuals released to a less restrictive alternative, which is a form of supervised release into the community under specific conditions. The key change is that the minimum distance restriction for a person's residence is increased from 500 feet to one-half mile from child care facilities, public or private schools (kindergarten through 12th grade), and recreational facilities, as defined in RCW 36.69.010. This aims to enhance community safety by creating a larger buffer zone around places frequented by children.
