Indiana SB0011 allows execution by firing squad if lethal injection drugs are unavailable or if the condemned person requests it.

Indiana SB0011 amends the state's criminal law to allow the death penalty to be carried out by firing squad under specific conditions. Execution by firing squad is authorized if lethal injection cannot be carried out due to the unavailability of required drugs or if the condemned person requests it at least 30 days before the scheduled execution date. The execution must occur within the state prison walls and before sunrise on a date fixed by the sentencing court, but not less than 100 days after conviction.
