Requiring a less restrictive alternative placement to be owned and operated by the same individuals.

Summary

The bill tells Washington courts that when they release a person to a less‑restrictive setting, the residence must be owned by the same people who will provide or supervise the person’s treatment. It also requires electronic monitoring, a minimum 500‑foot distance from schools or child‑care sites, and a review to ensure releases are spread fairly across counties. The changes affect people under conditional release, the courts, the Department of Social and Health Services, the Department of Corrections, and any private service providers.
