North Carolina H270 revises the methods of execution for death row inmates.

North Carolina H270 revises the methods of execution available for a person convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to death. The bill repeals the previous law and establishes new procedures for carrying out the death penalty. It mandates that executions be carried out by lethal injection, electrocution, or firing squad, with the choice to be made by the convicted person in writing 14 days before the execution date. If the convicted person waives the right of election, the penalty must be administered by electrocution.
