Summary

The measure changes the state constitution so a person sentenced to death can pick how they are executed—firing squad, lethal injection, or lethal gas (for crimes committed before the amendment). If the inmate makes no choice, lethal injection is used by default. The change must be approved by voters and the governor before it takes effect.
