USA - Idaho. HB 658 to shield lethal injection drug providers fails to advance out of Senate Judiciary Committee

HB 658 to shield lethal injection drug providers fails to advance out of Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee. The bill won’t go to the Senate floor after tie vote (4-4) over transparency concerns. House Bill 658 would have extended legal protection to any person or business responsible for compounding, synthesizing, testing, selling, manufacturing, storing or prescribing the chemicals or substances used for execution. The identity of a supplier would not be admissible as evidence or discoverable in any court proceedings, and individuals would not be subject to licensing board discipline for their involvement in carrying out the death penalty. The bill is likely dead for the session.
