Including legislative members in the voting membership of the sentencing guidelines commission.

HB 1801 adds four voting members to Washington's Sentencing Guidelines Commission: two state legislators appointed by the House Speaker (one from each major caucus) and two by the Senate President (one from each major caucus). These legislative members would serve two-year terms, aligning with existing terms for other appointed members. The bill directly affects the commission's composition, ensuring legislative representation in developing sentencing guidelines that impact criminal justice outcomes statewide. This change modifies RCW 9.94A.860 to include legislative voting members as part of the commission's 29-member structure.
