WA HB1113

Courts may dismiss simple or gross misdemeanor charges if defendants substantially comply with court-ordered conditions for 6-12 months, including participation in treatment programs like recovery navigator, arrest and jail alternative, or law enforcement assisted diversion programs

Courts must consider whether charges resulted from behavioral health disorders, lack of stable housing or employment, or prior need for competency restoration treatment when determining appropriate conditions

Full restitution and no new criminal violations are required for dismissal, though inability to pay due to indigence cannot be grounds for denial; victims must have opportunity to present statements before dismissal

Numerous offenses are excluded from eligibility, including DUI-related offenses, domestic violence involving intimate partners, stalking, protection order violations, assault in the fourth degree, harassment, hit and run, and any charge originally filed as a felony

Successful completion of the program does not count as a conviction for driver's license purposes under RCW 46.20.270
