Bill > HB4004

This bill restores the full voting rights (suffrage) to William Roberts of Harrison County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a grand larceny conviction in Washington County on February 21, 1986. At the time of his conviction, Roberts was sentenced to one year and thirty-six months of probation under the Mississippi Department of Corrections and was released on December 1, 1986. The bill notes that since his conviction, Roberts has conducted himself as a law-abiding and honorable citizen. By passing this act, the Mississippi Legislature is specifically granting Roberts the right to vote again, effectively removing the legal barrier to his electoral participation that was imposed by his prior felony conviction. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage.
