WA HB2693

Sexually violent predators released to less restrictive alternatives must be placed in locations where the ratio of adults to children within a 500-foot radius exceeds 3-to-1

The Department of Social and Health Services must investigate and verify that any proposed housing meets this adult-to-child ratio requirement before placement can be approved

Courts are required to impose the 3-to-1 ratio restriction as a mandatory condition for conditional release, in addition to existing requirements like the 500-foot distance restriction from schools and child care facilities
