Ronald Smith , 67 , is originally from Red Deer , Alta ., and has been on death row since 1983 .

All executions have been stayed in Montana since 2015 because the state requires the use of an “ultra-fast-acting barbiturate” that is no longer available.

A new bill would allow the state to use “an intravenous injection of a substance or substances in a lethal quantity sufficient to cause death”.

Rate said even if the new legislation passes, the matter is far from over.

“There’s all sorts of procedural protections and constitutional requirements that accompany putting anybody to death,” he said.

Rate: “Even assuming that the state is able to jump over those hurdles, they would have to acquire a substance that they could use”.
