CRIMINAL/PROCEDURE: Provides relative to determination of intellectual disability in capital cases

Summary

The bill changes how intellectual disability is determined in death‑penalty cases, creating a presumption based on a minimum score and setting that score at 75 (or 75.5 if certain provisions are struck down). It affects defendants in capital prosecutions by defining the evidentiary standard for an irrebuttable presumption of disability, which can impact eligibility for the death penalty.
