Court of Appeals of Washington February 5, 2001, No. 44065-9-I (State v. Montgomery)

Grosse, J.

A legislative increase in the length of the maximum sentence eligible for a special sexual offender sentencing alternative (SSOSA) operates in conjunction with an increase in the sentence ranges for a sex offender contained in the same act. Montgomery does not qualify under the increased SSOSA sentence limit because he was sentenced under the older, lower sentence ranges.
