HB1465 establishes cost-sharing for county supervision of misdemeanant probationers.

HB1465 amends Washington law to require counties to reimburse the Department of Corrections for 25% of supervision costs for misdemeanant probationers, unless the county assumes full supervision responsibility. It also allows counties to take over supervision of probationers who reside within their jurisdiction. The bill clarifies that neither the state, Department of Corrections, nor county employees, officers, or volunteers are liable for harm caused by probationers under their supervision, except in cases of gross negligence.
