Senate passed SB 2580 authorizing use of electric chair for execution when lethal injection drug not available. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Ken Yager, passed on a 23-3 vote today. The Harriman Republican said current law allows the state to use its alternate execution method only when lethal injection drugs are not legally available. But Yager said there was no provision for what do if there was a shortage of those drugs.
