House adds stalking to supervised offenses, passes HB 25 10
Summary
The House advanced and passed House Bill 25 10 to amend community custody supervision to include stalking; supporters cited survivor testimony and the vote was 96–0.
The Washington State House passed House Bill 25 10, which updates supervision compliance rules to include stalking among supervised offenses. Clerks read the bill as an act relating to supervision compliance credit pursuant to RCW 9.9480.717.
Representative Burnett, speaking in support, described the bill as a simple but important change, citing testimony and written letters from victims and victim advocates who identified a gap in supervision for stalking offenders. "This is the right thing to do," Burnett said, urging members to support the measure. Representative Davis thanked the sponsor and highlighted victims' stories and the work of advocates who brought the issue forward.
The House advanced the bill under suspension of the rules to third reading and final passage. The clerk announced the roll call as "96 yays, 0 nays," and the bill was declared passed.
