Bill > SB90

This bill expands the definition of "felonious or infamous crime" to include capital crimes, first or second-degree felonies, or equivalent crimes from other jurisdictions, and clarifies that individuals convicted of such crimes are disqualified from holding public office unless pardoned or restored to political rights. It also mandates immediate resignation and vacancy of a public office upon conviction of a felony, with campaign funds potentially subject to forfeiture and deposit into the children's trust fund if the felony relates to the exercise of the office. Furthermore, the bill outlines conditions under which a person convicted of a felonious or infamous crime can regain eligibility to vote, including completing correctional facility sentences, parole, or probation, or receiving a pardon, while explicitly prohibiting voting during imprisonment. The bill also repeals an existing law and sets an effective date of July 1, 2015.
