This bill aims to reform the sentencing process for currently incarcerated individuals whose sentences were lengthened due to juvenile convictions that are no longer considered scorable under current law. It establishes a new section in chapter 9.94A RCW, allowing eligible individuals to petition for resentencing without including these juvenile adjudications in their offender score. The criteria for eligibility include being currently incarcerated with a release date of July 1, 2025, or later, and having either a release date within three years, having served over 15 years, or having served at least 50% of their sentence. The bill also outlines the conditions under which a court may deny a resentencing motion and mandates that the court must grant the motion if the criteria are met.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for victim advocacy services, ensuring that victims impacted by the resentencing process receive support and resources. It establishes a flexible fund to assist victims with relocation, travel for court hearings, and psychotherapy expenses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, and will apply retroactively to individuals incarcerated on the effective date, regardless of their offense date. If specific funding for the act is not provided by June 30, 2024, the act will be null and void.
