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:

An offender serving a sentence for aggravated first degree murder who had a previous death sentence converted to life imprisonment by State v. Gregory, 192 Wn.2d 1, 427 P.3d 621 (2018), may not participate in postsecondary educational programs or degree opportunities while incarcerated."

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

EFFECT:   Prohibits an offender who is serving a sentence for aggravated first degree murder and who has had a previous death sentence converted to life imprisonment by State v. Gregory from participating in postsecondary educational programs or degree opportunities while incarcerated.
