USA - Wyoming. The House of Representatives passed bill SF 13 that would make firing squads the alternative form of execution

The House of Representatives passed bill SF 13 that would make firing squads the alternative form of execution. SF 13 was amended in the House on Tuesday to require that death row inmates be administered anesthesia and rendered unconscious before being shot. Because of that amendment, the bill went to the Senate, where a majority needs to vote for it. Otherwise, the leadership of both chambers will appoint a committee to hammer out differences. After an afternoon vote in the Senate for which four people were absent, members decided that the amendment would be voted on next week. SF13 narrowly passed the House, 32-28, and critics wondered whether Wyoming should even have the death penalty. On Jan. 16, the bill passed the Senate, 17-12, with one senator excused. Wyoming’s primary method of execution is lethal injection, but drugs are increasingly in short supply nationwide. The Joint Judiciary Interim Committee sponsored the bill because the state’s current alternative form of execution is lethal gas, but the state doesn’t have a working gas chamber.
No one is currently on death row in Wyoming.
