Concerning private detention facilities.

The bill restructures the list of required health and safety standards by moving items related to accessibility, lighting, plumbing, maintenance, and waste disposal into a new subsection (i), while retaining the original heating, air conditioning, and infection control requirements in subsections (g) and (h).

The definitions for 'Solitary confinement' and 'Telecommunications services' were removed from the text, likely because they were already defined elsewhere in the statute or are no longer needed in this specific section.

Minor formatting changes were made to the bill title and the introductory language of the health standards section to improve readability and consistency.

The definition of a 'private detention facility' was updated to explicitly state that the entity must be 'for-profit', clarifying which private entities are subject to the new rules.

Exemptions from the act were revised to specifically exclude 'private detention facilities' that provide certain services to juveniles under Chapter 74.15 RCW, replacing broader references to Title 13 RCW.

The text regarding enforcement actions and conditions for repeat violators was updated to consistently use the term 'private detention facility' instead of 'private detention center'.

New provisions were added allowing the Department of Health to assess civil fines of up to $10,000 per violation (capped at $1,000,000) against facilities with a history of noncompliance, with proceeds used for training.

The list of exempt facilities was renumbered and slightly modified to ensure consistency, removing redundant text about federal law and updating references to match current state statutes.

The bill's committee assignment changed from 'Community Safety' to 'Appropriations', and the reading date was updated from February 13 to February 26, 2025.

A new provision (Section 11) was added stating that if specific funding for the bill is not included in the omnibus appropriations act by June 30, 2025, the entire act becomes null and void.

Minor text changes in the act's title, including updating the bill number header and changing 'creating a new section' to 'creating new sections'.
