Bill > HB2665

This bill requires any person or entity purchasing property intended to be used as a "less restrictive alternative" for sexually violent predators to provide written notification to specific local and state officials, including the county sheriff, state legislators representing the district, and county administrators and commissioners. This notification must be given after entering into an escrow agreement but before the sale is finalized, and it must include the date the property will begin its new use, the maximum number of sexually violent predators allowed to reside there, and the names of any anticipated residents if known. Failure to comply with these disclosure requirements will result in a civil infraction, which is a minor legal offense. The context for this bill is chapter 71.09 RCW, which deals with sexually violent predators and their placement in community settings.
