Washington HB2693 prohibits placing sexually violent predators in less restrictive alternatives near high-concentration areas of children.

Washington HB2693 mandates that sexually violent predators cannot be placed in less restrictive alternatives near areas with a high concentration of children. This bill requires courts to consider fair share principles when authorizing conditional release to a less restrictive alternative. Placements must be in locations where the ratio of adults to children within a 500-foot radius exceeds three to one. The bill also mandates that the Department of Corrections investigate proposed placements and recommend conditions to the court.
