The House Ways and Means Committee tomorrow (Tuesday) is set to vote on ESSB 5288, the bill reducing post-release supervision of some 12,000 dangerous criminals. So, the call to action remains the same: Call 1-800-562-6000 and urge your legislators to support amendments to ESSB 5288 that: add the requirement of reassessment of all offenders prior to cutting them from supervision to better limit public risk; include behavior factors in reassessment, not just static factors; and include a “sunset clause” so if passed ESSB 5288 expires.
