The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 430, seeks to amend the general statutes to prohibit certain individuals and entities that are licensed, registered, or conducting business in the state from engaging in activities related to drugs and medical devices intended for use in executing the death penalty. Specifically, the bill prohibits these parties from manufacturing, compounding, selling, testing, distributing, dispensing, or supplying any drug or medical device for this purpose.

The intent of the bill is to restrict the involvement of licensed professionals and businesses in the execution process, thereby addressing ethical concerns surrounding the use of drugs and medical devices in capital punishment. The proposed legal language emphasizes the prohibition of these activities without any deletions from existing law, focusing solely on the new restrictions being introduced.
