The bill introduces a framework for addressing habitual property offenders in Washington by allowing prosecuting attorneys to file special allegations against individuals with a significant history of property crimes. A habitual property offender is defined as someone with an offender score of nine points or higher who has committed three or more property crime offenses within a 180-day period. Upon conviction, the court is required to assess whether the individual qualifies as a habitual offender and impose enhanced penalties as specified in RCW 9.94A.533(16).

In addition to establishing criteria for habitual property offenders, the bill amends existing sentencing guidelines to include specific enhancements for firearm and deadly weapon offenses, ensuring that these enhancements are mandatory and served consecutively. It also increases the standard sentence range for certain crimes involving minors and gang-related offenses. The legislation further stipulates that if a minor child enhancement raises a sentence above the statutory maximum, it must be served in total confinement and consecutively to other sentences. Additional provisions include adding 24 months for class B felonies and 12 months for class C felonies to the standard sentence range for habitual property offenders, while allowing for extraordinary medical placements for offenders under these new provisions.
