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

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1.  The legislature intends to provide law enforcement and judicial agencies with the capacity to prevent and prosecute acts committed with terrorist intent.  The legislature declares that the statutes creating crimes in this act are to be construed with lenity and in all respects to be done with deference to each person's state and federal constitutional guarantees.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  For the purposes of this chapter:

    (1) "Terrorist intent" means the intent to unlawfully use physical force or violence against persons or property, private or public, to intimidate or coerce an agency or the civilian population at large.

    (2) "Agency" means "agency" as defined in RCW 42.17.020.

    (3) "Population at large" means persons not selected on the basis of their individual identities or personal characteristics.

 

    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3.  (1) A person is guilty of a hoax terrorist act if he or she knowingly and falsely:

    (a) Claims to have committed a crime with terrorist intent; or

    (b) Makes any statement or takes any other action that causes or is intended to cause a reasonable belief that a crime with terrorist intent has been or will be committed.

    (2) A hoax terrorist act is a felony with terrorist intent.

    (3) A hoax terrorist act is a class A felony.

 

    Sec. 4.  RCW 9.94A.535 and 2001 2nd sp.s. c 12 s 314 are each amended to read as follows:

    The court may impose a sentence outside the standard sentence range for an offense if it finds, considering the purpose of this chapter, that there are substantial and compelling reasons justifying an exceptional sentence.  Whenever a sentence outside the standard sentence range is imposed, the court shall set forth the reasons for its decision in written findings of fact and conclusions of law.  A sentence outside the standard sentence range shall be a determinate sentence unless it is imposed on an offender sentenced under RCW 9.94A.712.  An exceptional sentence imposed on an offender sentenced under RCW 9.94A.712 shall be to a minimum term set by the court and a maximum term equal to the statutory maximum sentence for the offense of conviction under chapter 9A.20 RCW.

    If the sentencing court finds that an exceptional sentence outside the standard sentence range should be imposed, the sentence is subject to review only as provided for in RCW 9.94A.585(4).

    A departure from the standards in RCW 9.94A.589 (1) and (2) governing whether sentences are to be served consecutively or concurrently is an exceptional sentence subject to the limitations in this section, and may be appealed by the offender or the state as set forth in RCW 9.94A.585 (2) through (6).

    The following are illustrative factors which the court may consider in the exercise of its discretion to impose an exceptional sentence.  The following are illustrative only and are not intended to be exclusive reasons for exceptional sentences.

    (1) Mitigating Circumstances

    (a) To a significant degree, the victim was an initiator, willing participant, aggressor, or provoker of the incident.

    (b) Before detection, the defendant compensated, or made a good faith effort to compensate, the victim of the criminal conduct for any damage or injury sustained.

    (c) The defendant committed the crime under duress, coercion, threat, or compulsion insufficient to constitute a complete defense but which significantly affected his or her conduct.

    (d) The defendant, with no apparent predisposition to do so, was induced by others to participate in the crime.

    (e) The defendant's capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her conduct, or to conform his or her conduct to the requirements of the law, was significantly impaired.  Voluntary use of drugs or alcohol is excluded.

    (f) The offense was principally accomplished by another person and the defendant manifested extreme caution or sincere concern for the safety or well-being of the victim.

    (g) The operation of the multiple offense policy of RCW 9.94A.589 results in a presumptive sentence that is clearly excessive in light of the purpose of this chapter, as expressed in RCW 9.94A.010.

    (h) The defendant or the defendant's children suffered a continuing pattern of physical or sexual abuse by the victim of the offense and the offense is a response to that abuse.

    (b) The defendant knew or should have known that the victim of the current offense was particularly vulnerable or incapable of resistance due to extreme youth, advanced age, disability, or ill health.

    (c) The current offense was a violent offense, and the defendant knew that the victim of the current offense was pregnant.

    (e) The current offense was a major violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, chapter 69.50 RCW (VUCSA), related to trafficking in controlled substances, which was more onerous than the typical offense of its statutory definition:  The presence of ANY of the following may identify a current offense as a major VUCSA:

    (i) The current offense involved at least three separate transactions in which controlled substances were sold, transferred, or possessed with intent to do so;

    (ii) The current offense involved an attempted or actual sale or transfer of controlled substances in quantities substantially larger than for personal use;

    (iii) The offender's conduct during the commission of the current offense manifested deliberate cruelty or intimidation of the victim.

    (i) The operation of the multiple offense policy of RCW 9.94A.589 results in a presumptive sentence that is clearly too lenient in light of the purpose of this chapter, as expressed in RCW 9.94A.010.

    (j) The defendant's prior unscored misdemeanor or prior unscored foreign criminal history results in a presumptive sentence that is clearly too lenient in light of the purpose of this chapter, as expressed in RCW 9.94A.010.

    (k) The offense resulted in the pregnancy of a child victim of rape.

    (l) The defendant knew that the victim of the current offense was a youth who was not residing with a legal custodian and the defendant established or promoted the relationship for the primary purpose of victimization.

    (8) Upon entry of judgment in favor of the state, the state may proceed to execute thereon as in the case of any other judgment, except that in order to preserve the state's lien priority as provided in this section the state shall, in addition to such other notice as is required by law, give at least thirty days' notice of the execution to any person possessing at the time the notice is given, an interest recorded subsequent to the date the state's lien was perfected.

    (9) Upon the entry of a final judgment in favor of the state providing for forfeiture of property to the state, the title of the state to the property:

    (a) In the case of real property or a beneficial interest in real property, relates back to the date of filing the criminal profiteering lien or, if no criminal profiteering lien is filed, then to the date of recording of the final judgment or the abstract thereof; or

    (b) In the case of personal property or a beneficial interest in personal property, relates back to the date the personal property was seized by the state, or the date of filing of a criminal profiteering lien in accordance with this section, whichever is earlier, but if the property was not seized and no criminal profiteering lien was filed then to the date the final judgment was filed with the department of licensing and, if the personal property is an aircraft, with the federal aviation administration.

    (10) This section does not limit the right of the state to obtain any order or injunction, receivership, writ, attachment, garnishment, or other remedy authorized under RCW 9A.82.100 or appropriate to protect the interests of the state or available under other applicable law.

    (11) In a civil or criminal action under this chapter, the superior court shall provide for the protection of bona fide interests in property, including community property, subject to liens of persons who were not involved in the violation of this chapter, except to the extent that such interests or property were acquired or used in such a way as to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to RCW 9A.82.100(4)(f).
