2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 9.94A.345: Timing.

Any sentence imposed under this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the law in effect when the current offense was committed.

[2000 c 26 § 2.]

Intent -- 2000 c 26: "RCW 9.94A.345 is intended to cure any ambiguity that might have led to the Washington supreme court's decision in State v. Cruz, Cause No. 67147-8 (October 7, 1999). A decision as to whether a prior conviction shall be included in an individual's offender score should be determined by the law in effect on the day the current offense was committed. RCW 9.94A.345 is also intended to clarify the applicability of statutes creating new sentencing alternatives or modifying the availability of existing alternatives." [2000 c 26 § 1.]
