    Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

    "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  The legislature finds that increased communications between local law enforcement officers and the state department of corrections' community corrections officers improves public safety through shared monitoring and supervision of offenders living in the community under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections.

    Participating local law enforcement agencies and the local offices of the department of corrections have implemented, on a pilot basis, the supervision management and recidivist tracking program, whereby each entity provides mutual assistance in supervising offenders living within the boundaries of local law enforcement agencies. The supervision management and recidivist tracking program has helped local law enforcement solve crimes faster or prevented future criminal activity by reporting offender's sentence violations in a more timely manner to community corrections officers by rapid and comprehensive electronic sharing of information regarding supervised offenders.  The expansion of the supervision management and recidivist tracking program will improve public safety throughout the state.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 43.10 RCW to read as follows:

    There is created, as a component of the homicide investigative tracking system, a supervision management and recidivist tracking system called the SMART system.  The office of the attorney general may contract with any state, local, or private agency necessary for implementation of supervision management and recidivist tracking program partnerships for development and operation of a state-wide computer linkage between the attorney general's homicide investigative tracking system, local police departments, and the state department of corrections.  No information on any person may be entered into the SMART system, or retained in the system, unless the person is under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections.  The department of corrections shall notify the attorney general when each person is no longer under its supervision.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  If specific funding for purposes of this act, referencing this act by bill or chapter number, is not provided by June 30, 1997, in the omnibus appropriations act, this act is null and void."
