Bill > SB79

This bill proposes an amendment to Section 145 of the Kentucky Constitution to change the criteria for who is eligible to vote. Specifically, it seeks to prohibit individuals who have been legally declared mentally incompetent by a court, and for whom this declaration has not been overturned, from exercising their right to vote. This change would replace the current language that excludes "idiots and insane persons" with a more precise legal standard based on a court's determination of mental incompetence. The bill also outlines the process for submitting this proposed amendment to the voters for their approval or rejection, including specific requirements for public notification and certification to county clerks for inclusion on ballots.
