This bill aims to retroactively amend the sentencing laws in Washington State by excluding certain juvenile convictions from an offender's score, regardless of when the offense occurred. The legislation recognizes the disproportionate impact of assigning "juvenile points" on black, indigenous, and people of color, and seeks to address the historical trauma associated with the mass incarceration of indigenous youth. It establishes a process for individuals sentenced for offenses committed before July 23, 2023, to petition for resentencing if their offender score was increased due to juvenile adjudications that are no longer considered scorable under current law. The bill outlines specific eligibility criteria for petitioners, the process for resentencing hearings, and the rights of victims and survivors during these proceedings.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for victim advocacy services and establishes a fund to support victims impacted by the resentencing process. It mandates that victims be informed of hearings and allowed to present statements, ensuring their rights are upheld. The legislation also stipulates that if funding for its implementation is not provided by June 30, 2025, the act will become null and void. Overall, the bill reflects a commitment to reforming the juvenile justice system and addressing the long-term effects of past injustices.
