This section adds a new section to an existing chapter 72.09. Here is the modified chapter for context.
An inmate may not be housed in a correctional facility that primarily houses persons of a different biological sex than that of the inmate if the inmate has previously been convicted of a sex offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030 against a victim whose biological sex is the same as those persons who are primarily housed in that correctional facility.
