Concerning out-of-state convictions.

Summary

The legislation amends Washington’s sentencing‑score rules so that convictions from other states, foreign countries, and the federal system are treated like comparable Washington offenses. It applies to both adult and juvenile prior convictions and sets specific conditions for when certain offenses are excluded. The change follows a state Supreme Court ruling and aims to make sentencing calculations more consistent.
