Summary

The bill would have courts appoint mental‑health experts to evaluate anyone charged with a capital crime to see if they have an intellectual disability. If the defendant files a petition, a hearing would decide the issue and the court would rule before trial. The aim is to prevent intellectually disabled people from receiving the death penalty.
