WA HB2665

Purchasers of real property intended for use as a less restrictive alternative housing for sexually violent predators must provide written notification to the county sheriff, state legislators for that district, county administrator/manager, and chair of the county commissioners or council.

Required notification must include the planned start date for using the property, the maximum number of sexually violent predators who may reside there at one time, and names of any anticipated residents if known.

Written notification must be submitted after entering escrow but before the sale closes.

Violation of these disclosure requirements constitutes a class 1 civil infraction under chapter 7.80 RCW.

Adds a new section to chapter 71.09 RCW governing sexually violent predators.
