Kentucky SB350 abolishes the death penalty and replaces it with life imprisonment without parole.

Kentucky SB350 eliminates capital punishment by abolishing the death penalty.

The bill also modifies sentencing provisions for various felonies, including Class A, B, C, and D felonies, and outlines alternative sentencing options such as probation, community service, and residential treatment programs. It further details procedures for DNA testing and analysis in criminal cases, and repeals several sections related to the execution of death sentences.
