(1) It is the intent of the legislature that the monetary compensation calculated under this chapter shall establish the monetary minimum compensation owed to a claimant pursuant to a wrongful conviction. If the claimant is awarded compensation under this chapter and receives a tort award from the state or any political subdivision of the state related to his or her wrongful conviction, the claimant must reimburse the state for the lesser of:
(a) The amount of the compensation award, excluding the portion awarded pursuant to RCW 4.100.060(5) (c) through (d) and (6); or
(b) The amount received by the claimant under the tort award.
(2) A release dismissal agreement, plea agreement, or any similar agreement whereby a prosecutor's office or an agent acting on its behalf agrees to take or refrain from certain action if the accused individual agrees to forgo legal action against the county, the state of Washington, or any political subdivision, is admissible and should be evaluated in light of all the evidence. However, any such agreement is not dispositive of the question of whether the claimant was wrongly convicted or entitled to compensation under this chapter.
