The bill amends RCW 9.94A.717 to establish guidelines for earning supervision compliance credit for offenders under the supervision of the department. Offenders who comply with their supervision terms and make progress towards their individualized case plans can earn ten days of credit for each month of compliance. This credit is accrued monthly and cannot be applied to an offender's term of supervision until it is earned. The bill outlines specific conditions under which offenders are ineligible to earn this credit, including those sentenced under certain RCWs or those subject to specific supervision conditions.
Additionally, the bill introduces new language specifying that offenders are not eligible to earn supervision compliance credit for any cause being served concurrently with a less restrictive alternative subject to supervision under RCW 71.09.092. This amendment clarifies the eligibility criteria for earning supervision compliance credit, ensuring that it is only awarded to those who meet the established requirements.
