HB1027 prohibits housing inmates convicted of sex offenses against same-sex victims in facilities housing the opposite sex.

HB1027 amends state law to prevent inmates convicted of sex offenses against victims of the same biological sex as the primary population in a correctional facility from being housed there. This applies to inmates with prior convictions under RCW 9.94A.030. The intent is to ensure inmates do not reside in facilities where their presence could pose a risk to similarly-sexed individuals.
