Prohibiting second and successive motions and ineffective counsel claims in habeas corpus actions and providing for direct appeal to the supreme court in habeas corpus appeals filed by inmates sentenced to death.

SB 60 restricts habeas corpus appeals for inmates sentenced to death in Kansas. It prohibits second or successive habeas motions (except for new constitutional rules or newly discovered evidence) and bans claims of ineffective counsel in these cases. The bill also mandates that appeals from death penalty habeas motions go directly to the Kansas Supreme Court, bypassing intermediate appellate courts. This affects death row inmates seeking to challenge their sentences through habeas corpus, creating stricter procedural barriers for their appeals.
