By Representative Graham

On page 4, after line 37, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 10.95 RCW to read as follows:

The department of corrections may not transfer an inmate serving a sentence for a conviction under this chapter to any out-of-state facility under any circumstance, including, but not limited to, when an inmate requests a transfer based on a need for additional services."

Renumber the remaining section consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly. Correct the title.

EFFECT:   Prohibits the Department of Corrections from transferring an inmate serving a sentence for Aggravated First Degree Murder to an out-of-state facility under any circumstances, including, but not limited to, when an inmate requests a transfer based on a need for additional services.
