SB 6334 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting a less restrictive alternative placement from abutting a residence with a minor in the household.

SB 6334 requires courts to prohibit individuals on conditional release (such as those under court-ordered treatment or supervision) from living adjacent to a home where a minor resides. It mandates a minimum 500-foot buffer zone from schools and child care facilities, and requires electronic monitoring with real-time tracking and alerts for exclusion zones. The bill also directs courts to consider "fair share principles" to ensure equitable distribution of such placements across counties and instructs the Department of Corrections to investigate and recommend placement conditions. This applies to individuals subject to conditional release under Washington state law for committed cases, such as those involving mental health or sex offender commitments.
