Bill > SB179

This bill amends the Code of Alabama to provide a comprehensive list of felonies that constitute "moral turpitude" and disqualify an individual from voting under the state constitution. The bill removes several offenses, including drug trafficking and certain theft and robbery crimes, from the list of disqualifying felonies. It also clarifies that the list is intended to apply solely for the purpose of determining voter disqualification, and not for any other legal purpose. The bill will become effective on October 1, 2024.
