Bill overview
Senate Bill 1751 changes Arizona’s law regarding the death penalty. It establishes that firing squad, lethal gas, or lethal injection are permissible methods of execution, supervised by the Department of Corrections. For those sentenced to death before 1992, they have the option to choose their method of execution (firing squad, lethal injection, or lethal gas) at least 20 days before the execution. The bill also protects the identity of those involved in executions and prevents licensing boards from revoking licenses due to participation.
