S-3657.1
SENATE BILL 6021
State of Washington
69th Legislature
2026 Regular Session
By Senator Christian
Prefiled 01/07/26.
AN ACT Relating to reducing introduction of contraband into Green Hill school; adding a new section to chapter 13.40 RCW; and creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that a body scanner pilot program in the department of corrections was highly successful at mitigating the introduction of contraband to adult corrections facilities. The department of corrections body scanner pilot program led to the detection of suboxone strips and pills, methamphetamine, prescription pills, fentanyl soaked marijuana, and THC gummies. Between 2019 and 2023, the program led to the confiscation of nearly 1,000 unique items, over 43 grams of drugs, and over $100 in cash.
The legislature further finds that such a program would reduce the introduction of contraband to Green Hill school and would promote a safer, drug-free facility. Contraband continues to be a serious threat to the safety and security of Green Hill school. In 2023, a joint narcotics enforcement team collected 114 bags of contraband from within Green Hill school. Among the contraband were cell phones, vape pens, gummies, and heroin.
