Sb 5891 - passed

[tommyg1337]

I need some clarification on SB 5891.

Among MANY other things, this bill addresses 50% early release:

Section 3(c): (Lists all of the people that are NOT eligible for 50%)
(c) An offender is qualified to earn up to fifty percent of
11 aggregate earned release time if he or she:
12 (i) Is not classified as an offender who is at a high risk to
13 reoffend as provided in subsection (4) of this section;
14 (ii) Is not confined pursuant to a sentence for:
15 (A) A sex offense;
16 (B) A violent offense;
17 (C) A crime against persons as defined in RCW 9.94A.411;
18 (D) A felony that is domestic violence as defined in RCW 10.99.020;
19 (E) A violation of RCW 9A.52.025 (residential burglary);
20 (F) A violation of, or an attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to
21 violate, RCW 69.50.401 by manufacture or delivery or possession with
22 intent to deliver methamphetamine; or
23 (G) A violation of, or an attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to
24 violate, RCW 69.50.406 (delivery of a controlled substance to a minor);
25 (iii) Has no prior conviction for the offenses listed in (c)(ii) of
26 this subsection;
27 (iv) Participates in programming or activities as directed by the
28 offender's individual reentry plan as provided under RCW 72.09.270 to
29 the extent that such programming or activities are made available by
30 the department; and
31 (v) Has not committed a new felony after July 22, 2007, while under
32 community custody.
33 (d) In no other case shall the aggregate earned release time exceed
34 one-third of the total sentence.

Section 4: (The last sentence)
Subsection (3)(c) of this section does not apply to offenders convicted after July 1, 2010.

So does this mean that those restricted from section 3(c) convicted AFTER 7/1/10 are now eligible for 50%?

OR does it mean that those convicted after 7/1/10 are not eligible for 50% at all????
