Bill Summary
Civil right to vote of an individual restored upon release from incarceration or upon sentencing if no incarceration is imposed, and notice required.
AI Summary
This bill aims to restore the civil right to vote for individuals upon their release from incarceration or upon sentencing if no incarceration is imposed. It requires the secretary of state to develop and distribute information about the voting rights of people charged with or convicted of a crime. The bill also mandates correctional facilities and probation officers to provide notice and a voter registration application to individuals upon their release or under correctional supervision for a felony-level offense. Additionally, the bill removes language that previously required individuals convicted of a felony to have their sentence expired or completed before their right to vote was restored.
