Summary

The bill rewrites the state’s execution statute to allow death by firing squad, lethal gas, or lethal injection. Inmates sentenced for crimes committed before 1992 must pick a method at least 20 days before their execution, otherwise lethal injection is used. It also makes firing squad the mandatory method for anyone who kills a police officer on duty and shields the identities and licenses of execution personnel.
