Summary

The proposal rewrites the process for choosing how a death sentence is carried out, giving a group of state officials and the local district attorney a majority vote to pick among lethal injection, nitrogen hypoxia, electrocution or firing squad. It requires the chosen method to be the most cost‑effective option, with lethal injection listed as the preferred method. The bill also makes the identities of the execution team and related suppliers confidential and grants them immunity from disciplinary or civil actions.
