Idaho considers bill to make firing squad the primary method for death penalty executions.

Idaho lawmakers are considering a bill to make the firing squad the primary method for carrying out the death penalty, following issues with lethal injections. Introduced by Rep. Bruce Skaug, if passed, Idaho would become the only state to use this method primarily. The bill aims to address difficulties in obtaining lethal injection drugs and would take effect in July 2026 to allow time for necessary prison upgrades.
