This legislative proposal, titled the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act , aims to eliminate capital punishment at the federal level. Its primary purpose is to prevent the federal government from imposing or carrying out death sentences for any federal law violation. A key provision of the bill states that, upon its enactment, no individual can be sentenced to death or executed for a federal crime. This effectively halts all future federal death penalty cases. Additionally, the bill addresses individuals who have already received a death sentence under federal law prior to its enactment. It mandates that all such persons shall be resentenced , thereby commuting their death sentences.
