SB 825 - Under current law, if an offender is found guilty of first degree murder, the court is required to instruct a jury that if a punishment is not agreed upon by the jurors, the court shall assess and declare the punishment of life imprisonment without eligibility for probation, parole, or release except by act of the governor or death. This act no longer requires the court to instruct the jury as it relates to the death of the offender.
This act is identical to HB 1746 (2022), HB 2700 (2022), SB 341 (2021), SB 920 (2020), SB 288 (2019), and SB 996 (2018).
