1 MIN READ
(March 3, 2023) - HB 186 to bring back firing squad approved by House.
Measure will next be considered by Senate.
The Idaho House voted 50-15 with 5 members absent Friday afternoon to pass legislation allowing the use of a firing squad as an alternative method of execution.
Rep. Bruce Skaug, R-Nampa, sponsored the legislation, which he said would allow the state to carry out the death penalty as it has been unable to obtain the chemicals needed to create the lethal injection.
Sen. Doug Ricks, R-Rexburg, will sponsor the bill in the Senate.
