Ohio HB36 adds nitrogen hypoxia as an execution method and restricts disclosure of execution-related information.
Ohio HB36 amends the Revised Code to introduce nitrogen hypoxia as an alternative method for executing death sentences, alongside lethal injection. It mandates that if lethal injection or nitrogen hypoxia is deemed unconstitutional, another lawful method must be used. The bill also prohibits the disclosure of "execution identifying information," which includes personal details of those involved in executions, unless required by law. Violations of this confidentiality provision are classified as misdemeanors.
