AN ACT Relating to addressing and mitigating the impacts of property crimes in Washington state; amending RCW 9.94A.506, 9.94A.515, 9.94A.585, 9.94A.702, 9.94A.171, 9.94A.860, and 9.94A.533; reenacting and amending RCW 9.94A.030, 9.94A.501, 9.94A.505, and 9.94A.701; adding a new section to chapter 43.88 RCW; adding new sections to chapter 9.94A RCW; adding new sections to chapter 43.131 RCW; creating new sections; prescribing penalties; and providing an effective date.

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

(a) Washington has the highest property crime rate in the country.

(b) Washington's crime victims' compensation program does not provide victims with financial assistance for expenses associated with property crime.

(c) Funding for programs that notify victims when offenders are released from jail in three large counties is set to expire in 2016.

(d) In recent years, an increasing number of individuals convicted of property crimes have been sentenced to prison. Supervision paired with treatment including, but not limited to, mental health, chemical dependency, and cognitive behavioral treatment and services, which can have a significant impact on reducing the likelihood of reoffending, is not available as a sentencing option for most people convicted of property offenses.

(e) Supervision practices in Washington are promising and the department of corrections continues to refine its approach to community supervision, but there is an opportunity to further strengthen the quality of supervision and extend it to property crime offenders.

(f) Pretrial detainees take up a significant portion of county jail space and a portion of these individuals will be rearrested upon release. Only a fraction of counties in Washington utilize risk assessments to inform decision making regarding pretrial release.

(g) Sustained policy development in juvenile and criminal justice would benefit from a more concerted, consistent, and visible form of governance.

(2) It is the intent of the legislature to respond to the findings of the Washington state justice reinvestment task force, which are outlined in subsection (1) of this section, by changing sentencing policy to require supervision of certain people convicted of property offenses; by providing treatment, if needed, and programs to reduce recidivism; and by providing additional support to local governments and victims of property crime. The legislature adopts this act with the goal of reducing property crime by at least fifteen percent by fiscal year 2026.
