The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 430, seeks to amend the general statutes to prohibit certain licensed individuals and businesses in the state from engaging in activities related to drugs and medical devices intended for use in the execution of the death penalty. Specifically, the bill stipulates that these entities shall not manufacture, compound, sell, test, distribute, dispense, or supply any such substances or devices.

The intent of the bill is to restrict the involvement of licensed professionals and businesses in the administration of capital punishment through the use of drugs and medical devices. This legislative measure reflects a growing concern regarding the ethical implications of using pharmaceuticals in executions and aims to ensure that those who are licensed to operate in the state do not contribute to this practice.
