WA SB5945

Excludes convictions for offenses committed before age 18 from being counted as "strikes" when determining persistent offender status under Washington's three-strikes law

Requires the offender to have been 18 years of age or older on the offense date for any conviction to qualify toward persistent offender designation

Mandates resentencing hearings for individuals currently serving life sentences as persistent offenders if any qualifying conviction was for an offense committed while under 18

Prosecuting attorneys must review sentencing documents and file motions for relief, or incarcerated individuals may file their own motions for resentencing

Applies retroactively to all persons currently incarcerated as persistent offenders, regardless of when the offense or conviction occurred
