NOTE:  Numbers in the first horizontal row of each serious­ness category represent sentencing midpoints in years(y) and months(m).  Numbers in the second and third rows represent presumptive sentencing ranges in months, or in days if so designated.  12+ equals one year and one day.

     (2) For persons convicted of the anticipatory offenses of criminal attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy under chapter 9A.28 RCW, the presumptive sentence is determined by locating the sentencing grid sentence range defined by the appropriate offender score and the seriousness level of the completed crime, and multiplying the range by 75 percent.

     (3) The following additional times shall be added to the presumptive sentence if the offender or an accomplice was armed with a deadly weapon as defined in this chapter and the offender is being sentenced for one of the crimes listed in this subsection.  If the offender or an accomplice was armed with a deadly weapon and the offender is being sentenced for an anticipatory offense under chapter 9A.28 RCW to commit one of the crimes listed in this subsection, the following times shall be added to the presumptive range determined under subsection (2) of this section:

     (a) 24 months for Rape 1 (RCW 9A.44.040), Robbery 1 (RCW 9A.56.­200), or Kidnapping 1 (RCW 9A.40.020), but if the offense was committed with a firearm, the 24-month time period may be increased up to 36 months;

     (b) 18 months for Burglary 1 (RCW 9A.52.020), but if the offense was committed with a firearm, the 18-month time period may be increased up to 30 months;

     (c) 12 months for Assault 2 (RCW 9A.36.020 or 9A.36.021), Assault of a Child 2 (RCW 9A.36.130), Escape 1 (RCW 9A.76.110), Kidnapping 2 (RCW 9A.40.030), Burglary 2 of a building other than a dwelling (RCW 9A.52.030), Theft of Livestock 1 or 2 (RCW 9A.56.080), or any drug offense, but if the offense was committed with a firearm, the 12-month time period may be increased up to 18 months.

     (4) If the offender committed an offense listed in subsection (3)(a) through (c) of this section while the offender or an accomplice was armed with a firearm, and the offender had a prior conviction for an offense committed with a firearm, then the following times may be added to the presumptive range determined under subsection (2) of this section:

     (a) For a second conviction for an offense committed while armed with a firearm, up to 60 months;

     (b) For a third or subsequent conviction for an offense committed while armed with a firearm, up to 84 months.

     (5) If an offender or an accomplice was armed with a firearm and fired upon a law enforcement officer while resisting arrest under RCW 9A.76.040, up to 60 months may be added to the presumptive sentence.

     (6) The following additional times shall be added to the presumptive sentence if the offender or an accomplice committed the offense while in a county jail or state correc­tional facility as that term is defined in this chapter and the offender is being sentenced for one of the crimes listed in this subsection.  If the offender or an accomplice committed one of the crimes listed in this subsection while in a county jail or state correctional facility as that term is defined in this chapter, and the offender is being sentenced for an anticipa­tory offense under chapter 9A.28 RCW to commit one of the crimes listed in this subsection, the following times shall be added to the presumptive sentence range determined under subsection (2) of this section:

     (a) Eighteen months for offenses committed under RCW 69.50.401(a)­(1)(i) or 69.50.410;

     (b) Fifteen months for offenses committed under RCW 69.50.401(a)(1)(ii), (iii), and (iv);

     (c) Twelve months for offenses committed under RCW 69.50.401(d).

     For the purposes of this subsection, all of the real property of a state correctional facility or county jail shall be deemed to be part of that facility or county jail.

     (((5))) (7) An additional twenty-four months shall be added to the presumptive sentence for any ranked offense involving a violation of chapter 69.50 RCW if the offense was also a violation of RCW 69.50.435.

 

     Sec. 7.  RCW 9.94A.370 and 1989 c 124 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

     (1) The intersection of the column defined by the offender score and the row defined by the offense seriousness score determines the presumptive sentencing range (see RCW 9.94A.310, (Table 1)).  The additional time for deadly weapon findings or for ((those offenses)) other circumstances enumerated in RCW 9.94A.310(((4) that were committed in a state correctional facility or county jail)) (3) through (7) shall be added to the entire presumptive sentence range.  The court may impose any sentence within the range that it deems appropriate.  All presumptive sentence ranges are expressed in terms of total confinement.

     (2) In determining any sentence, the trial court may rely on no more information than is admitted by the plea agreement, or admitted, acknowledged, or proved in a trial or at the time of sentencing.  Acknowledgement includes not objecting to information stated in the presentence reports.  Where the defendant disputes material facts, the court must either not consider the fact or grant an evidentiary hearing on the point.  The facts shall be deemed proved at the hearing by a preponderance of the evidence.  Facts that establish the elements of a more serious crime or additional crimes may not be used to go outside the presumptive sentence range except upon stipulation or when specifically provided for in RCW 9.94A.390(2) (c), (d), and (e)."

 

     Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.
