capital punishment; firing squad

This constitutional amendment (HCR 2024) proposes adding "firing squad" as an execution method for death sentences in Arizona, alongside current options. It would specifically allow inmates sentenced to death before November 23, 1992, to choose between lethal injection, firing squad, or lethal gas. If approved by voters, the amendment would change Arizona’s constitution to include firing squad as a permitted method, requiring future executions to follow state-prescribed procedures. The proposal must be approved by voters at the next general election before taking effect.
