Summary: HB379 requires confidentiality for identifying information of people and entities involved in Alabama executions.
What This Bill Does
It amends Section 15-18-82.1 to keep private the names, addresses, qualifications, and other identifying details of drug manufacturers, prescribers, dispensers, suppliers, or those who administer drugs used in an execution. It also protects the identities of anyone who participates in an execution or performs any ancillary function related to an execution. The confidentiality extends to information in Department of Corrections records and prevents disclosure or use as evidence in any court or tribunal.

Who It Affects
People or organizations that manufacture, compound, prescribe, dispense, supply, or administer drugs used in an execution, and others who participate in or perform ancillary functions (their identifying information becomes confidential).
Public and government bodies (courts, agencies, and the general public) in terms of disclosure, since the information cannot be disclosed or admitted as evidence and is protected from public access.

Key Provisions
Identifying information of any person or entity that manufactures, compounds, prescribes, dispenses, supplies, or administers drugs used in an execution is confidential and not subject to disclosure or admissible as evidence.
Confidentiality extends to anyone who participates in an execution or performs an ancillary function, including information in departmental records that would identify the person.
