Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to requiring a less restrictive alternative 2 placement to be owned and operated by the same individuals; and 3 amending RCW 71.09.096. 4
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require that when a person is released to a less restrictive alternative placement, the residence where they will live must be owned by the same individual or individuals who will be providing or monitoring their treatment. A "less restrictive alternative" refers to a supervised release from a secure facility into the community, with conditions designed to protect the public and ensure the individual receives necessary treatment. This change aims to ensure a direct connection between the ownership of the living situation and the provision of care and supervision for individuals transitioning back into the community.
