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 offenders can earn credit for each month they comply with supervision terms, with a maximum of 10 days of credit per month. The procedures for earning this credit will be made available on the department's website. 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 clarifies the eligibility criteria for earning supervision compliance credit. Offenders sentenced under certain statutes, those subject to specific supervision conditions, or those with indeterminate sentences are excluded from earning this credit. Notably, the bill adds new categories of ineligibility, including offenders sentenced to any sentencing alternative and those subject to a governor's conditional commutation. These changes aim to streamline the process and ensure that only compliant offenders benefit from the supervision compliance credit system.
