The bill amends Washington State laws concerning the calculation of offender scores, specifically within RCW 9.94A.525 and RCW 9.94A.722. It establishes that prior convictions for Class A felonies and sex offenses will always be included in the offender score, while Class B felony convictions can be excluded if the offender has spent ten consecutive years in the community without a new conviction. Additionally, Class C felony convictions and serious traffic offenses may be excluded if the offender has been crime-free for five consecutive years. The bill also clarifies the classification and scoring of out-of-state and federal convictions, and introduces new scoring rules for various offenses, including those related to burglary and domestic violence.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that behavioral health service providers report compliance updates on supervised individuals to their community corrections officer when treatment is a condition of their sentence. It includes provisions for the expiration of certain sections and states that the act will be null and void if specific funding is not provided by a designated date. Overall, the bill aims to create a more equitable approach to calculating offender scores and enhance the management of offenders by ensuring effective monitoring of treatment compliance.
