   On page 24, after line 3, insert the following:

   "NEW SECTION.  Sec. 405.   A new section is added to chapter 72.09 RCW to read as follows:
   Whenever an offender serving a term of community custody is convicted of a new crime, the department shall complete a performance review of the offender's compliance with the offender's individual reentry plan and of any of the department's actions, inactions, or policies, to determine what may have contributed to the circumstances that allowed recidivism to occur. Beginning January 1, 2008, the department shall compile and submit copies of the performance reviews, including any corrective measures taken to best ensure recidivism does not re-occur, developed during the previous calendar year to the governor and the legislature."

   Renumber the sections consecutively and correct the internal references accordingly.

EFFECT: Requires DOC to conduct a review when an offender on community custody commits a new crime to review the offender's compliance with the offender's individual reentry plan and any department actions, inactions, or policies, to determine what may have contributed to the circumstances that allowed recidivism to occur. The DOC must report its findings to the Legislature by January 1, 2008.
