AI Summary

This bill amends Mississippi's law on firearm possession by felons. It allows individuals convicted of a federal crime or a felony in another state to apply for a certificate of rehabilitation, which would restore their right to possess firearms. The bill requires individuals convicted out of state or federally to attach a copy of their judgment and completion of sentence to the petition. The court may grant the certificate if it finds the applicant has been rehabilitated and will not pose a danger to public safety. The bill also allows individuals discharged from court-ordered mental health treatment to petition the court for relief from firearms disabilities, with the court considering various factors before granting such relief.
