This bill modifies procedures with respect to capital sentencing hearings involving a defendant who is serving a life sentence for murder and, while serving the life sentence, is convicted of another murder.

If a jury at a capital sentencing hearing does not reach a unanimous recommendation on the defendant's sentence and there is a motion by the attorney for the government, the court must order a new special sentencing hearing and impanel a new jury. If the new jury at the special sentencing hearing does not reach a unanimous recommendation on the defendant's sentence, then the court is prohibited from imposing a death sentence.
