Prohibiting sexually violent predators from being placed in less restrictive alternatives within 500 feet of, or with a sight line to, certain facilities or schools.
SB 6337 prohibits sexually violent predators from being placed in community-based supervision (less restrictive alternatives) within 500 feet of, or with a direct line of sight to, K-12 schools, child care facilities, or recreational facilities. The bill requires courts to impose strict conditions for conditional release, including electronic monitoring with real-time tracking, 500-foot distance restrictions, and sight-line bans from protected facilities. It also mandates that placement decisions follow "fair share" principles to ensure equitable distribution across counties and prevent disproportionate grouping in specific communities. The law directly affects individuals subject to Washington’s sexually violent predator commitment system who seek community-based supervision. These provisions aim to enhance community safety through specific geographic restrictions and individualized supervision conditions.
