Senate Bill 719, Lauren's Law, amends the Code of Criminal Procedure and Penal Code to include the murder of an individual 10 to 14 years of age as conduct that constitutes capital murder. The bill prohibits the sentencing to death of a defendant who is found guilty of capital murder of such an individual and prohibits the state from seeking the death penalty in any case based solely on such a capital murder.
