Specifying the effect that changes in law will have on sentencing provisions.  


    AN ACT Relating to the effect of changes in law on sentencing provisions; adding a new section to chapter 9.94A RCW; and creating a new section.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  This act is intended to cure any ambiguity that might have led to the Washington supreme court's decision in State v. Cruz, Cause No. 67147-8 (October 7, 1999).  A decision as to whether a prior conviction shall be included in an individual's offender score should be determined by the law in effect on the day the current offense was committed.  This act is also intended to clarify the applicability of statutes creating new sentencing alternatives or modifying the availability of existing alternatives.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 9.94A RCW to read as follows:

    Any sentence imposed under this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the law in effect when the current offense was committed.


    Passed the Senate February 15, 2000.

    Passed the House February 29, 2000.

Approved by the Governor March 17, 2000.

    Filed in Office of Secretary of State March 17, 2000.
