The bill amends RCW 9.94A.717 to establish clearer guidelines for earning supervision compliance credit for offenders under the supervision of the department. It specifies that procedures for earning this credit will be developed and made available on the department's website. Offenders who comply with supervision terms will earn 10 days of credit for each month of compliance, and this credit will be accrued monthly. Additionally, the bill introduces a provision stating that offenders will lose the ability to earn these credits if they are sanctioned by a court for noncompliance with community custody requirements.

The bill also outlines the eligibility criteria for earning supervision compliance credit, specifying that certain offenders, such as those sentenced under specific statutes or those subject to a governor's conditional commutation, are ineligible. The amendments include the removal of previous language regarding progress towards individualized supervision case plans, streamlining the focus on compliance with supervision terms. Overall, the changes aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the supervision compliance credit system.
