Bill > HB0574

This bill aims to restore the voting rights of individuals convicted of certain infamous crimes upon receiving a pardon or completing their sentence of incarceration, parole, or probation. It amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to specify that a conviction for an infamous crime shall only render a person ineligible to vote while they are currently imprisoned, on parole, or on probation for that conviction. The bill also outlines the process for issuing certificates of voting rights restoration and facilitating voter registration for those newly eligible. Exceptions are made for individuals convicted of certain serious crimes, who would never be eligible to vote in the state.
