2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 9.95.212: Standards for supervision of misdemeanant probationers.

The Washington state law and justice advisory council, appointed under RCW 72.09.300(7), shall by October 1, 1995, develop proposed standards for the supervision of misdemeanant probationers sentenced by superior courts under RCW 9.92.060 or 9.95.210. In developing the standards, the council shall consider realistic current funding levels or reasonable expansions thereof, the recommendations of the department of corrections, county probation departments, superior and district court judges, and the misdemeanant corrections association. The supervision standards shall establish classifications of misdemeanant probationers based upon the seriousness of the offense, the perceived risks to the community, and other relevant factors. The standards may provide discretion to officials supervising misdemeanant probationers to adjust the supervision standards, for good cause, based upon individual circumstances surrounding the probationer. The supervision standards shall include provisions for reciprocal supervision of offenders who are sentenced in counties other than their counties of residence.
