passed SSB 6596 to create the Sex Offender Policy Board (SOPB) RCW 9.94A.8671 states the Legislature's intent to promote a coordinated and
integrated response to sex offender management and create an entity to
respond to issues that arise, such as integrating state and federal laws,
in a way that enhances the state's interest in protecting the community

The Board is assigned a wide
variety of duties that range form examining individual cases to setting
performance measures for the entire system statewide. In addition, the
Board will be a repository for research on best practices in sex offender
management, response systems and prevention.

on:

current research and best
practices related to risk assessment, treatment, and supervision of sex
