E2SSB 5296 - H AMD TO APP COMM AMD (H-2190.1/25) 1225

By Representative Waters

NOT CONSIDERED 04/27/2025

On page 3, line 19 of the striking amendment, after "(v)" insert "Child molestation in the second degree under RCW 9A.44.086;

(vi)"

Renumber the remaining subsection consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

EFFECT: Excludes child molestation in the second degree offenses from eligibility for the Option B and Chemical Dependency/Mental Health Disposition alternatives and from the requirement that the court make an independent finding that commitment to juvenile rehabilitation is needed because a community-based placement would not adequately protect the community before committing the juvenile to a juvenile rehabilitation institution.
