        Sec. 103.  Section 7, chapter 115, Laws of 1983 as last amended by section 12, chapter 153, Laws of 1988 and by section 3, chapter 157, Laws of 1988 and RCW 9.94A.360 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:

          The offender score is measured on the horizontal axis of the sentencing grid.  The offender score rules are as follows:

          The offender score is the sum of points accrued under this section rounded down to the nearest whole number.

          (1) A prior conviction is a conviction which exists before the date of sentencing for the offense for which the offender score is being computed.  Convictions entered  or sentenced on the same date as the conviction for which the offender score is being computed shall be deemed "other current offenses" within the meaning of RCW 9.94A.400.

          (2) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, class A prior felony convictions shall always be included in the offender score.  Class B prior felony convictions shall not be included in the offender score, if since the last date of release from confinement (including full-time residential treatment) pursuant to a felony conviction, if any, or entry of judgment and sentence, the offender had spent ten consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any felonies.  Class C prior felony convictions shall not be included in the offender score if, since the last date of release from confinement (including full-time residential treatment) pursuant to a felony conviction, if any, or entry of judgment and sentence, the offender had spent five consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any felonies.  Serious traffic convictions shall not be included in the offender score if, since the last date of release from confinement (including full-time residential treatment) pursuant to a felony conviction, if any, or entry of judgment and sentence, the offender spent five years in the community without being convicted of any serious traffic or felony traffic offenses.    This subsection applies to both adult and juvenile prior convictions.

           (6) In the case of multiple prior convictions, for the purpose of computing the offender score, count all convictions separately, except:

          (a) Prior adult offenses which were found, under RCW 9.94A.400(1)(a), to encompass the same criminal conduct, shall be counted as one offense, the offense that yields the highest offender score.  The current sentencing court shall determine with respect to other prior adult offenses for which sentences were served concurrently whether those offenses shall be counted as one offense or as separate offenses, and if the court finds that they shall be counted as one offense, then the offense that yields the highest offender score shall be used;

          (b) Juvenile prior convictions entered or sentenced on the same date shall count as one offense, the offense that yields the highest offender score; and

          (c) In the case of multiple prior convictions for offenses committed before July 1, 1986, for the purpose of computing the offender score, count all adult convictions served concurrently as one offense, and count all juvenile convictions entered on the same date as one offense.  Use the conviction for the offense that yields the highest offender score.

           (7) If the present conviction is one of the anticipatory offenses of criminal attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy, count each prior conviction as if the present conviction were for a completed offense.

           (8) If the present conviction is for a nonviolent offense and not covered by subsection (12) or (13) of this section, count one point for each adult prior felony conviction and one point for each juvenile prior violent felony conviction and 1/2 point for each juvenile prior nonviolent felony conviction.

           (9) If the present conviction is for a violent offense and not covered in subsection (10), (11), (12), or (13) of this section, count two points for each prior adult and juvenile violent felony conviction, one point for each prior adult nonviolent felony conviction, and 1/2 point for each prior juvenile nonviolent felony conviction.

           (10) If the present conviction is for Murder 1 or 2, Assault 1, Kidnaping 1, Homicide by Abuse, or Rape 1, count three points for prior adult and juvenile convictions for crimes in these categories, two points for each prior adult and juvenile violent conviction (not already counted), one point for each prior adult nonviolent felony conviction, and 1/2 point for each prior juvenile nonviolent felony conviction.

           (11) If the present conviction is for Burglary 1, count prior convictions as in subsection (9) of this section; however count two points for each prior adult Burglary 2 conviction, and one point for each prior juvenile Burglary 2 conviction.

           (12) If the present conviction is for a felony traffic offense count two points for each adult or juvenile prior conviction for  Vehicular Homicide or Vehicular Assault; for each felony offense or serious traffic offense, count one point for each adult and 1/2 point for each juvenile prior conviction.

           (13) If the present conviction is for a drug offense  count ((two)) three points for each adult prior felony drug offense conviction  and ((one)) two points for each juvenile drug offense.  All other adult and juvenile felonies are scored as in subsection (9) of this section if the current drug offense is violent, or as in subsection (8) of this section if the current drug offense is nonviolent.

           (14) If the present conviction is for Willful Failure to Return from Furlough, RCW 72.66.060, or Willful Failure to Return from Work Release, RCW 72.65.070, count only prior escape convictions in the offender score.  Count adult prior escape convictions as one point and juvenile prior escape convictions as 1/2 point.

           (15) If the present conviction is for Escape 1, RCW 9A.76.110, or Escape 2, RCW 9A.76.120, count adult prior convictions as one point and juvenile prior convictions as 1/2 point.

           (16) If the present conviction is for Burglary 2, count priors as in subsection (8) of this section; however, count two points for each adult and juvenile prior Burglary 1 conviction, two points for each adult prior Burglary 2 conviction, and one point for each juvenile prior Burglary 2 conviction.

          (17) If the present conviction is for an offense committed while the offender was under community placement, add one point.

                                                                  ONE-PARTY CONSENT

 

 

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 201.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

          The legislature finds that the unlawful manufacturing, selling, and distributing of controlled substances is becoming increasingly prevalent and violent.  Attempts by law enforcement officers to prevent the manufacture, sale, and distribution of drugs is resulting in numerous life-threatening situations since drug dealers are using sophisticated weapons and modern technological devices to deter the efforts of law enforcement officials to enforce the controlled substance statutes.  Dealers of unlawful drugs are employing a wide variety of violent methods to realize the enormous profits of the drug trade.

          Therefore, the legislature finds that conversations regarding illegal drug operations should be intercepted and transmitted in certain circumstances without prior judicial approval in order to protect the life and safety of law enforcement personnel and to enhance prosecution of drug offenses, and that that interception and transmission can be done without violating the constitutional guarantees of privacy.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 202.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

          (1) If a police commander or officer above the rank of first line supervisor has reasonable suspicion that the safety of the consenting party is in danger, law enforcement personnel may, for the sole purpose of protecting the safety of the consenting party, intercept or transmit a private conversation or communication concerning the unlawful manufacture, delivery, sale, or possession with intent to manufacture, deliver, or sell, controlled substances as defined in chapter 69.50 RCW, or legend drugs as defined in chapter 69.41 RCW, or imitation controlled substances as defined in chapter 69.52 RCW.

          (2) Before any interception or transmission of a private conversation or communication pursuant to this section, the police commander or officer making the determination required by subsection (1) of this section shall complete a written authorization which shall include (a) the date and time the authorization is given; (b) the persons, including the consenting party, expected to participate in the conversation, to the extent known; (c) the expected date, location, and approximate time of the conversation; and (d) the reasons for believing the consenting party's safety will be in danger.

          (3) A monthly report shall be filed by the law enforcement agency with the administrator for the courts indicating the number of authorizations made under this section, the date and time of each authorization, and whether an interception or transmission was made with respect to each authorization.

          (4) Any information obtained pursuant to this section is inadmissible in any civil or criminal case in all courts of general or limited jurisdiction in this state, except:

          (a)  With the permission of the person whose communication or conversation was intercepted or transmitted without his or her knowledge;

          (b) In a civil action for personal injury or wrongful death arising out of the same incident, where the cause of action is based upon an act of physical violence against the consenting party; or

          (c) In a criminal prosecution, arising out of the same incident for a serious violent offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030 in which a party who consented to the interception or transmission was a victim of the offense.

          (5) Nothing in this section bars the admission of testimony of a participant in the communication or conversation unaided by information obtained pursuant to this section.

          (6) The authorizing agency shall immediately destroy any written, transcribed, or recorded information obtained from an interception or transmission authorized under this section unless the agency determines there has been a personal injury or death or a serious violent offense which may give rise to a civil action or criminal prosecution in which the information may be admissible under subsection (4)(b) or (c) of this section.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 203.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

          In each superior court judicial district in Washington there shall be available twenty-four hours a day at least one superior court or district court judge or magistrate designated to receive telephonic requests for authorizations that may be issued pursuant to this chapter.  The office of the administrator for the courts   shall establish a coordinated schedule of rotation for all of the superior and district court judges and magistrates in each superior court judicial district for purposes of ensuring the availability of at least one judge or magistrate at all times.  During the period that each judge or magistrate is designated, he or she shall be equipped with an electronic paging device when not present at his or her usual telephone.  It shall be the designated judge's or magistrate's responsibility to ensure that all attempts to reach him or her for purposes of requesting authorization pursuant to this chapter are forwarded to the electronic page number when the judge or magistrate leaves the place where he or she would normally receive such calls.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 204.  A new section is added to chapter 9.73 RCW to read as follows:

          (1) As part of a bona fide criminal investigation, the chief law enforcement officer of a law enforcement agency or his or her designee above the rank of first line supervisor may authorize the interception, transmission, or recording of a conversation or communication by officers under the following circumstances:

          (a) At least one party to the conversation or communication has consented to the interception, transmission, or recording; and

          (b) Probable cause exists to believe that the conversation or communication involves the unlawful manufacture, delivery, sale, or possession with intent to manufacture, deliver, or sell, controlled substances as defined in chapter 69.50 RCW, or legend drugs as defined in chapter 69.41 RCW, or imitation controlled substances as defined in chapter 69.52 RCW.

          (2) The agency's chief officer or designee authorizing an interception, transmission, or recording under subsection (1) of this section, shall prepare a written report at the time of authorization indicating:

          (f) Whether there was an attempt to obtain authorization pursuant to RCW 9.73.090(2) and, if there was such an attempt, the outcome of the attempt.

          (3) An authorization under this section is valid in all jurisdictions within Washington state and for the interception of communications from additional persons if the persons are brought into the conversation or transaction by the nonconsenting party or if the nonconsenting party or such additional persons cause or invite the consenting party to enter another jurisdiction.

          (4) The recording of any conversation or communication under this section shall be done in such a manner that protects the recording from editing or other alterations.

          (5) An authorization made under this section is valid for no more than twenty-four hours from the time it is signed by the authorizing officer.  The authorizing officer shall sign the written report required under subsection (2) of this section, certifying the exact date and time of his or her signature.

          (6) Within fifteen days after any interception, transmission, or recording of a conversation or communications pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency which made the interception, transmission, or recording shall submit a report to a judge of a court having jurisdiction which report shall identify (a) the persons, including the consenting party, who participated in the conversation, and (b) the date, location, and approximate time of the conversation.

          In those cases where the consenting party is a confidential informant, the name of the confidential informant need not be divulged.

          A monthly report shall be filed by the law enforcement agency with the administrator for the courts indicating the number of authorizations granted, the date and time of each authorization, interceptions made, arrests resulting from an interception, and subsequent invalidations.

          (7)(a) Within two judicial days of receipt of a report under subsection (6) of this section, the court shall make an ex parte review of the authorization, but not of the evidence, and shall make a determination whether probable cause existed at the time of the authorization under subsection (1) of this section.  If the court determines that probable cause did not exist, the court shall order that any recording and any copies or transcriptions of the conversation or communication be destroyed.

          (b) Absent a continuation under (c) of this subsection, six months following a determination under (a) of this subsection that probable cause did not exist, the court shall cause a notice to be mailed to the last known address of any nonconsenting party to the conversation or communication that was the subject of the authorization.  The notice shall indicate the date, time, and place of any interception, transmission, or recording made pursuant to the authorization.  The notice shall also identify the agency that sought the authorization and shall indicate that a review under (a) of this subsection resulted in a determination that the authorization was made in violation of this section.

          (c) An authorizing agency may obtain six-month extensions to the notice requirement of (b) of this subsection in cases of active, ongoing criminal investigations that might be jeopardized by sending the notice.

          (8) In any subsequent judicial proceeding, evidence obtained through the interception or recording of a conversation or communication pursuant to this section shall be admissible only if:

          (a) The court finds that there was probable cause as required by subsection (1)(b) of this section and the evidence is used in prosecuting an offense listed in subsection (1)(b) of this section; or

          (b)  The evidence is admitted with the permission of the person whose communication or conversation was intercepted, transmitted, or recorded; or

          (c) The evidence is admitted in a prosecution for a "serious violent offense" as defined in RCW 9.94A.030 in which a party who consented to the interception, transmission, or recording was a victim of the offense; or

          Nothing in this subsection bars the admission of testimony of a party or eyewitness to the intercepted, transmitted, or recorded conversation or communication when that testimony is unaided by information obtained solely by violation of RCW 9.73.030.

          (9) Any determination of invalidity of an authorization under this section shall be reported by the court to the office of the administrator for the courts.

          (10) Any person who intentionally intercepts, transmits, or records or who intentionally authorizes the interception, transmission, or recording of a conversation or communication in violation of this section, is guilty of a class C felony punishable according to chapter 9A.20 RCW.

          (11) An authorizing agency is liable for twenty-five thousand dollars in exemplary damages, in addition to any other damages authorized by this chapter or by other law, to a person whose conversation or communication was intercepted, transmitted, or recorded pursuant to an authorization under this section if:

          (a) In a review under subsection (7) of this section, or in a suppression of evidence proceeding, it has been determined that the authorization was made without the probable cause required by subsection (1)(b) of this section; and

          (12) Nothing in this section authorizes the interception, transmission, or recording of a telephonic communication or conversation.

          (b) Video and/or sound recordings may be made of arrested persons by police officers responsible for making arrests or holding persons in custody before their first appearance in court.  Such video and/or sound recordings shall conform strictly to the following:

          (i) The arrested person shall be informed that such recording is being made and the statement so informing him shall be included in the recording;

          (ii) The recording shall commence with an indication of the time of the beginning thereof and terminate with an indication of the time thereof;

          Authorizations issued under this subsection shall be effective for not more than fourteen days, after which period the issuing authority may renew or continue the authorization for an additional period not to exceed fourteen days.

                                                                          SUBPART B

                                                                PROPERTY FORFEITURE

 

 

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 210.              The legislature finds that:  Drug offenses and crimes resulting from illegal drug use are destructive to society; the nature of drug trafficking results in many property crimes and crimes of violence; state and local governmental agencies incur immense expenses in the investigation, prosecution, adjudication, incarceration, and treatment of drug-related offenders and the compensation of their victims; drug-related offenses are difficult to eradicate because of the profits derived from the criminal activities, which can be invested in legitimate assets and later used for further criminal activities; and the forfeiture of real assets where a substantial nexus exists between the commercial production or sale of the substances and the real property will provide a significant deterrent to crime by removing the profit incentive of drug trafficking, and will provide a revenue source that will partially defray the large costs incurred by government as a result of these crimes.  The legislature recognizes that seizure of real property is a very powerful tool and should not be applied in cases in which a manifest injustice would occur as a result of forfeiture of an innocent spouse's community property interest.

 

        Sec. 211.  Section 15, chapter 2, Laws of 1983 as last amended by section 2, chapter 282, Laws of 1988 and RCW 69.50.505 are each amended to read as follows:

          (a) The following are subject to seizure and forfeiture and no property right exists in them:

          (1) All controlled substances which have been manufactured, distributed, dispensed, ((or)) acquired, or possessed in violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW;

          (2) All raw materials, products, and equipment of any kind which are used, or intended for use, in manufacturing, compounding, processing, delivering, importing, or exporting any controlled substance in violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW;

          (3) All property which is used, or intended for use, as a container for property described in paragraphs (1) or (2);

          (4) All conveyances, including aircraft, vehicles, or vessels, which   are used, or intended for use, in any manner to facilitate the sale of property described in paragraphs (1) or (2), ((but)) except that:

          (i) No conveyance used by any person as a common carrier in the transaction of business as a common carrier is subject to forfeiture under this section unless it appears that the owner or other person in charge of the conveyance is a consenting party or privy to a violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW;

          (ii) No conveyance is subject to forfeiture under this section by reason of any act or omission established by the owner thereof to have been committed or omitted without ((his)) the owner's knowledge or consent;

          (iii) A forfeiture of a conveyance encumbered by a bona fide security interest is subject to the interest of the secured party if the secured party neither had knowledge of nor consented to the act or omission; and

          (iv) When the owner of a conveyance has been arrested under this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW the conveyance in which the person is arrested may not be subject to forfeiture unless it is seized or process is issued for its seizure within ten days of the owner's arrest;

          (5) All books, records, and research products and materials, including formulas, microfilm, tapes, and data which are used, or intended for use, in violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW;

          (7) All moneys, negotiable instruments, securities, or other tangible or intangible property of value furnished or intended to be furnished by any person in exchange for a controlled substance in violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW, all tangible or intangible personal property, proceeds, or assets acquired in whole or in part with proceeds  traceable to ((such)) an exchange or series of exchanges in violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW, and all moneys, negotiable instruments, and securities used or intended to be used to facilitate any violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW:  PROVIDED, That no personal property may be forfeited under this paragraph, to the extent of the interest of an owner, by reason of any act or omission which that owner establishes was committed or omitted without the owner's knowledge or consent; and

          (8) All real property, including any right, title, and interest in the whole of any lot or tract of land, and any appurtenances or improvements which are being used with the knowledge of the owner for the manufacturing, compounding, processing, delivery, importing, or exporting of any controlled substance, or which have been acquired in whole or in part with proceeds traceable to an exchange or series of exchanges in violation of this chapter or chapter  69.41 or 69.52 RCW, if such activity is not less than a class C felony and a substantial nexus exists between the commercial production or sale of the controlled substance and the real property:  PROVIDED, That

          (i) No property may be forfeited pursuant to this subsection, to the extent of the interest of an owner, by reason of any act or omission committed or omitted without the owner's knowledge or consent;

          (ii) The bona fide gift of a controlled substance, legend drug, or imitation controlled substance shall not result in the forfeiture of real property;

          (iii) The possession of marijuana shall not result in the forfeiture of real property unless the marijuana is possessed for commercial purposes, the amount possessed is five or more plants or one pound or more of marijuana, and a substantial nexus exists between the possession of marijuana and the real property.  In such a case, the intent of the offender shall be determined by the preponderance of the evidence, including the offender's prior criminal history, the amount of marijuana possessed by the offender, the sophistication of the activity or equipment used by the offender, and other evidence which demonstrates the offender's intent to engage in commercial activity;

          (iv) The unlawful sale of marijuana or a legend drug shall not result in the forfeiture of real property unless the sale was forty grams or more in the case of marijuana or one hundred dollars or more in the case of a legend drug, and a substantial nexus exists between the unlawful sale and the real property; and

          (v) A forfeiture of real property encumbered by a bona fide security interest is subject to the interest of the secured party if the secured party, at the time the security interest was created, neither had knowledge of nor consented to the act or omission.

          (b) Real or personal property subject to forfeiture under this chapter may be seized by any board inspector or law enforcement officer of this state upon process issued by any superior court having jurisdiction over the property.  Seizure of real property shall include the filing of a lis pendens by the seizing agency.  Real property seized under this section shall not be transferred or otherwise conveyed until ninety days after seizure or until a judgment of forfeiture is entered, whichever is later:  PROVIDED, That real property seized under this section may be transferred or conveyed to any person or entity who acquires title by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of a security interest.   Seizure  of personal property without process may be made if:

          (1) The seizure is incident to an arrest or a search under a search warrant or an inspection under an administrative inspection warrant;

          (2) The property subject to seizure has been the subject of a prior judgment in favor of the state in a criminal injunction or forfeiture proceeding based upon this chapter;

          (4) The board inspector or law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that the property was used or is intended to be used in violation of this chapter.

          (B) Twenty-five percent shall be remitted to the state treasurer for deposit in the public safety and education account established in RCW 43.08.250;

                                                             COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION

 

 

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 301.              The legislature recognizes that state-wide efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of substance abuse must be increased.  The legislature further recognizes that the most effective strategy for reducing alcohol and other drug abuse is through the collaborative efforts of educators, law enforcement, local government officials, local treatment providers, and concerned community and citizens' groups.

          The legislature intends to support the development and activities of community mobilization strategies against substance abuse through the following efforts:

          (1) Provide funding support for prevention, treatment, and enforcement activities identified by communities that have brought together education, treatment, local government, law enforcement, and other key elements of the community;

          (2) Provide technical assistance and support to help communities develop and carry out effective activities; and

          (3) Provide communities with opportunities to share suggestions for state program operations and budget priorities.

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 304.              This grant program will be available to communities of any geographic size but will encourage and reward communities which develop coordinated or complimentary strategies within geographic areas such as county areas or groups of county areas which correspond to units of government with significant responsibilities in the area of substance abuse, existing coalitions, or other entities important to the success of a community's strategy against substance abuse.

          (3) No less than fifty percent of funds appropriated under sections 301 through 309 of this act shall be awarded on a competitive basis for activities by communities not participating in a county-wide strategy and activities identified by county-wide strategies but not funded through per capita grants.  Eligible applications will be assessed and compared by a peer review committee whose members have experience in prevention, treatment, law enforcement, and other community efforts against substance abuse using the following criteria:

          (1) When the person in charge of a treatment facility, or his or her designee, receives information alleging that a person is incapacitated as a result of alcoholism, the person in charge, or his or her  designee, after investigation and evaluation of the specific facts alleged and of the reliability and credibility of the information, may file a petition for commitment of such person with the superior court or district court.  If the person in charge, or his or her designee, finds that the initial needs of such person would be better served by placement within the mental health system, the person shall be referred to an evaluation and treatment facility as defined in RCW 71.05.020.  If placement in an alcohol treatment facility is available and deemed appropriate, the petition shall allege that:  The person is an alcoholic who is incapacitated by alcohol, or that the person has twice before in the preceding twelve months been admitted for ((the voluntary)) detoxification or treatment for alcoholism pursuant to RCW 70.96A.110 and is in need of a more sustained treatment program, or that the person is an alcoholic who has threatened, attempted, or inflicted physical harm on another and is likely to inflict physical harm on another unless committed.  A refusal to undergo treatment, by itself, does not constitute evidence of lack of judgment as to the need for treatment.  The petition shall be accompanied by a certificate of a licensed physician who has examined the person within ((two)) five days before submission of the petition, unless the person whose commitment is sought has refused to submit to a medical examination, in which case the fact of refusal shall be alleged in the petition.  The certificate shall set forth the licensed physician's findings in support of the allegations of the petition.  A physician employed by the petitioning facility or the department is ((not)) eligible to be the certifying physician.

          (2) Upon filing the petition, the court shall fix a date for a hearing no less than ((three)) two and no more than seven days after the date the petition was filed unless the person petitioned against is presently being detained ((by the)) in a facility, pursuant to RCW 70.96A.120 or 71.05.210, as now or hereafter amended, in which case the hearing shall be held within seventy-two hours of the filing of the petition:  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That the above specified seventy-two hours shall be computed by excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays:  PROVIDED FURTHER, That, the court may, upon motion of the person whose commitment is sought, or upon motion of petitioner with written permission of the person whose commitment is sought, or his or her counsel and, upon good cause shown, extend the date for the hearing.  A copy of the petition and of the notice of the hearing, including the date fixed by the court, shall be served by the treatment facility on the person whose commitment is sought, his or her next of kin, a parent or his or her legal guardian if he or she is a minor, and any other person the court believes advisable.  A copy of the petition and certificate shall be delivered to each person notified.

          (3) At the hearing the court shall hear all relevant testimony, including, if possible, the testimony, which may be telephonic, of at least one licensed physician who has examined the person whose commitment is sought.  Communications otherwise deemed privileged under the laws of this state are deemed to be waived in proceedings under this chapter when a court of competent jurisdiction in its discretion determines that the waiver is necessary to protect either the detained person or the public.  The waiver of a privilege under this section is limited to records or testimony relevant to evaluation of the detained person for purposes of a proceeding under this chapter.  Upon motion by the detained person, or on its own motion, the court shall examine a record or testimony sought by a petitioner to determine whether it is within the scope of the waiver.

          The record maker shall not be required to testify in order to introduce medical, nursing, or psychological records of detained persons so long as the requirements of RCW 5.45.020 are met, except that portions of the record that contain opinions as to whether the detained person is an alcoholic must be deleted from the records unless the person offering the opinions is available for cross-examination.  The person shall be present unless the court believes that his or her presence is likely to be injurious to him or her; in this event the court may deem it appropriate to appoint a guardian ad litem to represent him or her throughout the proceeding.  If deemed advisable, the court may examine the person out of courtroom.  If the person has refused to be examined by a licensed physician, he or she shall be given an opportunity to be examined by a court appointed licensed physician.  If he or she refuses and there is sufficient evidence to believe that the allegations of the petition are true, or if the court believes that more medical evidence is necessary, the court may make a temporary order committing him or her to the department for a period of not more than five days for purposes of a diagnostic examination.

          (4) If after hearing all relevant evidence, including the results of any diagnostic examination, the court finds that grounds for involuntary commitment have been established by clear, cogent, and convincing proof, it shall make an order of commitment to an approved treatment facility.  It shall not order commitment of a person unless it determines that an approved treatment facility is available and able to provide adequate and appropriate treatment for him or her  ((and the treatment is likely to be beneficial)).

          (5) A person committed under this section shall remain in the facility for treatment for a period of ((thirty)) sixty days unless sooner discharged.  At the end of the ((thirty)) sixty-day period, he or she shall be discharged automatically unless the facility, before expiration of the period, files a petition for his or her recommitment upon the grounds set forth in subsection (1) of this section for a further period of ninety days unless sooner discharged.  If a person has been committed because he  or she is an alcoholic likely to inflict physical harm on another, the facility shall apply for recommitment if after examination it is determined that the likelihood still exists.

          (6) ((A person recommitted under subsection (5) of this section who has not been discharged by the facility before the end of the ninety day period shall be discharged at the expiration of that period unless the facility, before expiration of the period, obtains a court order on the grounds set forth in subsection (1) of this section for recommitment for a further period not to exceed ninety days.  If a person has been committed because he or she is an alcoholic likely to inflict physical harm on another, the facility shall apply for recommitment if after examination it is determined that the likelihood still exists.  Only two recommitment orders under subsections (5) and (6) of this section are permitted.

          (7))) Upon the filing of a petition for recommitment under subsection((s)) (5) ((or (6))) of this section, the court shall fix a date for hearing no less than ((three)) two and no more than seven days after the date the petition was filed:  PROVIDED, That, the court may, upon motion of the person whose commitment is sought and upon good cause shown, extend the date for the hearing.  A copy of the petition and of the notice of hearing, including the date fixed by the court, shall be served by the treatment facility on the person whose commitment is sought, his or her next of kin, the original petitioner under subsection (1) of this section if different from the petitioner for recommitment, one of his or her parents or his or her legal guardian if he or she is a minor, and his or her attorney and any other person the court believes advisable.  At the hearing the court shall proceed as provided in subsection (3) of this section.

          (((8))) (7) The approved treatment facility shall provide for adequate and appropriate treatment of a person committed to its custody.  A person committed under this section may be transferred from one approved public treatment facility to another if transfer is medically advisable.

          (((9))) (8) A person committed to the custody of a facility for treatment shall be discharged at any time before the end of the period for which he or she has been committed and he or she shall be discharged by order of the court if either of the following conditions are met:

          (a) In case of an alcoholic committed on the grounds of likelihood of infliction of physical harm upon himself, herself, or another, ((that he or she is no longer an alcoholic or)) the likelihood no longer exists; or further treatment will not be likely to bring about significant improvement in the person's condition, or treatment is no longer adequate or appropriate.

          (b) In case of an alcoholic committed on the grounds of the need of treatment and incapacity, that the incapacity no longer exists.

          (((10))) (9) The court shall inform the person whose commitment or recommitment is sought of his or her right to contest the application, be represented by counsel at every stage of any proceedings relating to his or her commitment and recommitment, and have counsel appointed by the court or provided by the court, if he or she wants the assistance of counsel and is unable to obtain counsel.  If the court believes that the person needs the assistance of counsel, the court shall require, by appointment if necessary, counsel for him or her regardless of his or her wishes.  The person shall, if he or she is financially able, bear the costs of such legal service; otherwise such legal service shall be at public expense.  The person whose commitment or recommitment is sought shall be informed of his or her right to be examined by a licensed physician of his or her choice.  If the person is unable to obtain a licensed physician and requests examination by a physician, the court shall employ a licensed physician.

          (((11))) (10) A person committed under this chapter may at any time seek to be discharged from commitment by writ of habeas corpus in a court of competent jurisdiction.

          (((12))) (11) The venue for proceedings under this section is the county in which person to be committed resides or is present.

          (12) When in the opinion of the professional person in charge of the facility providing involuntary treatment under this chapter, the committed patient can be appropriately served by less restrictive treatment before expiration of the period of commitment, then the less restrictive care may be required as a condition for early release for a period which, when added to the initial treatment period, does not exceed the period of commitment.  If the facility designated to provide the less restrictive treatment is other than the facility providing the initial involuntary treatment, the facility so designated must agree in writing to assume such responsibility.  A copy of the conditions for early release shall be given to the patient, the designated county alcoholism specialist, and the court of original commitment.  The facility designated to provide less restrictive care may modify the conditions for continued release when the modifications are in the best interests of the patient. If the facility providing less restrictive care and the designated county alcoholism specialist determine that a conditionally released patient is failing to adhere to the terms and conditions of his or her release, or that substantial deterioration in the patient's functioning has occurred, then the designated county alcoholism specialist shall notify the court of original commitment and request a hearing to be held no less than two and no more than seven days after the date of the request to determine whether or not the person should be returned to more restrictive care.  The designated alcoholism specialist shall file a petition with the court stating the facts substantiating the need for the hearing along with the treatment recommendations.  The patient shall have the same rights with respect to notice, hearing, and counsel as for the original involuntary treatment proceedings.  The issues to be determined at the hearing are whether the conditionally released patient did or did not adhere to the terms and conditions of his or her release to less restrictive care or that substantial deterioration of the patient's functioning has occurred and whether the conditions of release should be modified or the person should be returned to a more restrictive facility.  The hearing may be waived by the patient and his or her counsel and his or her guardian or conservator, if any, but may not be waived unless all such persons agree to the waiver.  Upon waiver, the person may be returned for involuntary treatment or continued on conditional release on the same or modified conditions.
