Indiana HB1287 mandates that execution teams for death sentences consist of volunteer members of the general assembly, establishes confidentiality.
Indiana HB1287 amends the state's execution protocol by requiring the warden of the state prison to select an execution team exclusively from members of the general assembly who volunteer for the role. The bill prohibits non-assembly members from serving on execution teams. It mandates that executions cannot proceed until the team is fully staffed and certified by the Department of Correction. The bill also establishes confidentiality for the identities of execution team members and certain execution-related information, shielding it from public disclosure and legal discovery.
