Bill > HB248

This bill restores voting rights to individuals on probation or parole after conviction of a felony or misdemeanor, except for those convicted of felonies or misdemeanors connected with the right of suffrage. Previously, individuals on probation or parole were not entitled to vote, but this bill removes that restriction. The bill also clarifies that only those convicted of a felony and sentenced to imprisonment are disqualified from registering and voting while confined, and those convicted of a felony or misdemeanor connected with the right of suffrage are forever disqualified from registering and voting.
