HB 2097 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

voting rights; restoration

HB 2097 automatically restores voting rights and other civil rights for first-time felony offenders in Arizona upon completion of probation or final discharge (e.g., prison release), provided they pay all victim restitution. It eliminates the need for an application to restore voting rights but requires a simple court filing for other civil rights restoration. The bill does not apply to firearm rights for those convicted of dangerous or serious offenses under Arizona law. This directly affects individuals with a single felony conviction who have completed their sentences and met restitution requirements. The changes modify existing Arizona statutes (13-907 and 13-908) to implement these automatic restorations.
