Transfer of Sentencing Guidelines Commission Functions

As of July 1, 2011, per ESSB 5891, Caseload Forecast Council (CFC) will be assuming responsibility for the Sentencing Guidelines Commission’s adult felony and juvenile disposition databases, the annual sentencing statistical summaries, and the sentencing manuals. The Office of Financial Management will convene the Commission and the Sex Offender Policy Board as requested by the Governor or the Legislature, but the SGC will be eliminated as an independent agency. Until August 25, most SGC staff can be reached at their current phone numbers and email addresses and Judgement and Sentencing Forms can still be transmitted to the current SGC mailing address. An update with more details will be sent out at the end of August.
