AI Summary
This bill restores the right to vote to individuals convicted of a felony upon completion of their term of incarceration. It amends state law to specify that a person's civil right to vote is restored once they are no longer incarcerated for the felony offense, or if no incarceration was imposed. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to develop and distribute information about the voting rights of people charged with or convicted of crimes. Additionally, it mandates that correctional facilities and probation officers provide notice and a voter registration application to individuals upon their release or supervision for a felony-level offense. The bill aims to ensure that individuals' right to vote is restored after they have served their sentence, without requiring further action or application.
