By resolution, reintroduced and retained in present status.
Summary
The bill revises Washington’s sentencing code so that any felony committed with a gun or other deadly weapon carries extra mandatory prison time, added on top of the regular sentence. It also reduces the base sentencing range for attempt, solicitation or conspiracy offenses to 75% of the usual range and applies the new enhancements to crimes committed while a person is in jail or prison. The goal is to increase penalties for armed theft and deter repeat offenders.
