1 2 follows:
1 3 #1. Page 4, line 30, by inserting after the word
1 4 "fact." the following: "However, during the course of
1 5 jury selection, no prospective juror shall be
1 6 disqualified for cause from serving during the initial
1 7 proceeding under this section unless the prospective
1 8 juror's conscientious opinions would preclude the
1 9 juror from rendering a fair and impartial verdict
1 10 during the proceeding. A prospective juror who holds
1 11 an opinion, either for or against the imposition of
1 12 the death penalty, which would preclude the juror from
1 13 properly exercising the discretion conferred by law in
1 14 the determination of a sentence in the penalty portion
1 15 of the trial, but whose opinion would not preclude the
1 16 person from rendering an impartial verdict during the
1 17 initial proceeding, shall be considered an "initial
1 18 phase includable" juror and shall not be disqualified
1 19 for cause during the initial proceeding based solely
1 20 on the holding of those opinions. Initial phase
1 21 includable jurors may be excluded during the penalty
1 22 phase in the event that the defendant is convicted of
1 23 first degree murder and a penalty proceeding is held
1 24 to determine whether a sentence of death should be
1 25 imposed. In a penalty proceeding, initial phase
1 26 includable jurors may be replaced by alternate jurors
1 27 qualified to render an impartial sentencing verdict."
