The Chronological Sentencing Reform Act (SRA)
Compiled by: Eric B. Schmidt, Commissioner
Maintained by:
Karl Triebel, Commissioner and Krista Barnett, Staff Attorney
Washington State Court of Appeals, Division II
The Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) has applied to crimes committed since July 1, 1984. The Legislature has amended the SRA frequently, often using emergency clauses to make amendments immediately effective. This makes it difficult to determine the version of the SRA in effect on any given date. In most situations, the applicable version of the SRA is that version in effect on the date of the crime.
This research tool is intended to make it easier to determine the version of the SRA in effect on any given date. This page lists date ranges since 1984. To go to the SRA in effect, go to the date range containing the date in question, click on the link, and you will be taken to the version of the SRA in effect during that date range, including all amendments effective at the beginning of that date range.
Each version of the SRA has a table of contents and has internal links to make navigating easier.
Each section in each version of the SRA is followed by a citation to the session law that amended that section for the applicable date range.
DISCLAIMER: While efforts have been made to make this research tool as accurate as feasible, it is only a tool and it is not an official source that can be cited to the trial or appellate courts. Only the texts of the RCW and the session laws available from the Statute Law Committee or the Office of the Code Reviser are official sources of the SRA. To be sure that the text contained in the Chronological SRA is correct, check the session law cited after the section.
If you have suggestions for improvement, or if you identify any errors in the Chronological SRA, please email SRA@courts.wa.gov.
