agreement authorized by RCW 9.94A.760, is responsible for monitoring
and enforcing the offender's sentence with regard to the legal
financial obligation, receiving payment thereof from the offender, and,
consistent with current law, delivering daily the entire payment to the
superior court clerk without depositing it in a departmental account.

department who is responsible for carrying out specific duties in
supervision of sentenced offenders and monitoring of sentence

request that the department contact the children's administration of
the Washington state department of social and health services to
determine if the agency has an open child welfare case or prior
substantiated referral of abuse or neglect involving the offender or if
the agency is aware of any substantiated case of abuse or neglect with
a tribal child welfare agency involving the offender.

the children's administration or with a tribal child welfare agency but
has prior involvement, the department will obtain information from the
children's administration on the number and type of past substantiated
referrals of abuse or neglect and report that information to the court.
If the children's administration has never had any substantiated
referrals or an open case with the offender, the department will inform
the court.
(4) If the sentencing court determines that the offender is
eligible for a sentencing alternative under this section and that the
sentencing alternative is appropriate and should be imposed, the court
shall waive imposition of a sentence within the standard sentence range
and impose a sentence consisting of twelve months of community custody.
The court shall consider the offender's criminal history when
determining if the alternative is appropriate.

the conditions of community custody or impose sanctions under (c) of
this subsection.
(c) The court may order the offender to serve a term of total

at any time during the period of community custody, if the offender
violates the conditions or requirements of the sentence or if the
offender is failing to make satisfactory progress in treatment.
(d) An offender ordered to serve a term of total confinement under
(c) of this subsection shall receive credit for any time previously
served in confinement under this section.
