“The clause, tucked into HB 1991, prevents the public from knowing whether doctors, pharmacists, EMTs and others taking part in executions are qualified.   State officials have cited the law in refusing to discuss the training of medical officials who, when the inmate was still writhing on the gurney 33 minutes after the lethal injection had started, stopped the procedure. To ensure there is no record of the participants in executions, the Department of Corrections uses petty cash accounts to pay pharmacists, doctors and others.  Critics say such laws, which are being adopted rapidly by other states, merely serve to protect doctors and pharmacists from criticism.”
