HB 1432: Death sentence and intellectual disabilities.

HB 1432 establishes a pretrial screening process to determine if a defendant facing a death penalty charge has an intellectual disability. This directly affects individuals charged with capital offenses who may qualify for exemption from the death penalty under federal constitutional standards. The bill requires courts to evaluate intellectual disability before trial, ensuring this determination occurs early in the legal process. The measure passed the House unanimously (96-0) and is now under review by the Senate Committee on Corrections and Criminal Law.

HCR 13: Encouraging the United States Congress to require the United States Secretary of State to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

HCR 13 is a non-binding concurrent resolution urging the U.S. Congress to direct the Secretary of State to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. It does not create new law but formally requests this action from the executive branch. The resolution directly affects the Muslim Brotherhood by seeking its formal designation under U.S. counterterrorism law, though the actual designation would require separate congressional action and executive implementation. As a procedural resolution, it has no legal effect and serves only to express legislative support for this policy position.
