Bill > SB1774

This bill, concerning the restoration of civil rights in Arizona, primarily focuses on automatically restoring a person's right to vote upon their final discharge from probation or imprisonment, regardless of whether they have paid all victim restitution. Previously, paying restitution was a requirement for the automatic restoration of most civil rights, though voting rights were sometimes restored sooner. The bill clarifies that "final discharge" means completing probation or receiving an absolute discharge from correctional facilities, and it explicitly states that this automatic restoration of voting rights applies to offenses committed within Arizona, as well as those committed in other states or federal jurisdictions. Importantly, this bill does not affect the restoration of firearm rights, which remain subject to separate provisions and court discretion for certain serious or dangerous offenses.
