"Section 3. There is established the South Dakota Death Penalty Study Commission. The commission shall study all aspects of the death penalty as currently administered in the State of South Dakota, including the following issues:
(1) Which methods of and protocol for execution have the least risk of morally or legally unacceptable complications;
(2) Whether the death penalty rationally serves a legitimate purpose such as deterrence or healing the families of victims;
(3) Whether public safety can be adequately protected by the punishment of life in prison, and if not what additional measures are necessary to protect public safety;
(4) Whether, in order to insure public safety, it is necessary to restrict the Governor's ability to commute life sentences;
(5) Whether there is a significant difference between the cost of the death penalty from indictment to execution and the cost of life in prison;
(6) Whether the selection of defendants in South Dakota for capital trials is arbitrary, unfair, or discriminatory in any way;
(7) Whether the state's interest in executing some of those who are guilty of capital crimes is sufficiently compelling that the risk of irreversible mistake is acceptable; and
(8) Whether the death penalty is consistent with evolving standards of decency.
Section 4. The commission shall be composed of fourteen members. Appointments shall reflect the diversity of the population of South Dakota. Members shall be appointed as follows:
(1) Four members appointed by the Governor, at least two of whom shall be appointed from the religious and ethical community in South Dakota;
