HB78


 * Sponsors: ** AZednik JDuffy HVitz


 * State: ** California


 * Bill Number: ** HB78


 * Topic: ** Death Penalty


 * Title: ** E.T.D.P (End The Death Penalty)


 * Purpose: ** To end the death penalty in all states.


 * Eligibility: ** Anyone ages 18 and older who has committed a crime bad enough such as rape and other crimes serve jail time and not receive the death penalty.


 * Terms and Benefits: ** This bill is going to make the death penalty illegal all over the United States. Research has shown that the death penalty costs a lot of money. Apparently just for California it costs $137 million per year. If this bill passes we will be saving money that the government uses for executions. With this money we could focus on much more important things like the economy and the environment. A benefit could also be for the criminal's family. The family could go through depression if the criminal died, but if the criminal is just in jail the family could still visit with the inmate.
