Bill > SB2918

This bill is designed to restore voting rights (suffrage) to Teddy Cleveland Null of Alcorn County, Mississippi, who previously lost his right to vote due to multiple criminal convictions. The bill provides a detailed account of Null's criminal history, including convictions in 1995 for receiving stolen property, in 2002 for receiving stolen property, operating a chop shop, possessing stolen vehicle parts, and residential burglary, and in 2016 for conspiracy and making a false statement. Despite these past convictions, the Legislature has determined that Null has since conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen and is therefore deserving of having his voting rights reinstated. The bill specifically notes the details of his various sentences, including probation, incarceration, and supervised release periods, and ultimately seeks to fully and completely restore Null's right to vote, allowing him to participate in the democratic process once again. The legislation would take effect immediately upon its passage.
