Concerning sentencing enhancements for theft offenses, robbery, possessing stolen property, and trafficking stolen property.
Executive session scheduled, but no action was taken in the House Committee on Community Safety at 8:00 AM.
Summary
The bill changes Washington’s sentencing rules so that anyone convicted of theft, robbery, or related crimes who used a firearm or other deadly weapon receives extra prison time. The added time depends on whether the underlying felony is a class A, B, or C offense, and prior weapon‑related convictions can double the boost. The enhancements are mandatory and must run consecutively with any other sentence.
