Prohibiting sexually violent predators from being placed in less restrictive alternatives within 500 feet of, or with a sight line to, certain facilities or schools.

HB 2694 prohibits sexually violent predators on conditional release (community-based supervision) from residing within 500 feet of, or having a sight line to, K-12 schools, child care facilities, or recreational facilities. The bill requires courts to impose specific conditions, including 500-foot distance restrictions and electronic monitoring with real-time tracking, to protect community safety during conditional release. It amends Washington’s conditional release laws (RCW 71.09.096) to mandate these location-based restrictions as part of court-ordered release conditions. The law applies directly to individuals previously committed under Washington’s sexually violent predator statute who seek placement in less restrictive community settings.
