Capital punishment; staying the execution of judgments in all death penalty cases; emergency.
HB 1309 halts all executions in Oklahoma for death penalty cases by suspending all execution procedures. It requires courts and the governor to vacate all current execution dates and prohibits setting new ones. The bill directly affects all inmates currently sentenced to death in Oklahoma, stopping their executions until the legislature acts. Execution statutes remain suspended until repealed, though death sentences themselves remain in effect.
