The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the admissibility of testimony and statements in a capital case other than a capital case in which the attorney representing the state has notified the court in writing or in open court that the state will not seek the death penalty. 

No significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies is anticipated from any provisions of this bill that authorize or require a change in the sanctions applicable to adults convicted of felony crimes.
