Declares that any county or group of cooperating counties may establish a program to implement the community commitment disposition alternative under this act. Any program shall be limited to ten beds. If a county does not have a program but is a member of a group of cooperating counties that has established a program to implement the community commitment disposition alternative under this act, a court in that county may impose a community commitment disposition alternative as provided in this act.

Requires each county or group of cooperating counties establishing a program to implement the community commitment disposition alternative under this act to provide an interim report on a program to the Washington association of juvenile court administrators by November 1, 2006, and a final report by May 1, 2007. Each report shall include, but is not limited to, the number of offenders eligible for the program, the number of offenders sentenced to the program, evaluation and treatment costs for each participant, administrative costs, costs of detention, supervision, and other related costs, and whether an offender has reoffended after participation in the program.
