Excluding any person who is convicted of a hit and run resulting in death from being eligible for a first-time offender waiver.
HB 1074 amends Washington State law to exclude individuals convicted of hit-and-run offenses resulting in death (under RCW 46.52.020(4)(a)) from eligibility for first-time offender waivers. This change directly affects people convicted of such hit-and-run cases, preventing them from accessing the alternative sentencing program available to other first-time felony offenders. The bill adds this specific offense to the list of disqualifying crimes in RCW 9.94A.650, ensuring these offenders must face standard sentencing without the waiver option.
