AZ HB2755

Establishes a 15-year moratorium on imposing the death penalty for first degree murder convictions from the effective date through December 31, 2025.

Applies only to cases where the jury has not yet rendered a verdict as of the bill's effective date.

Requires the legislature to appropriate any cost savings from the moratorium to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission for distribution to local law enforcement agencies for cold case investigations.

Counties must prioritize using cost savings from the moratorium to fund cold case investigations.

Directs the legislature to evaluate cost savings after 15 years and determine whether to extend or make the moratorium permanent.
