HB 4088 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jose Williams of Hinds County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Jose Williams of Hinds County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting rights due to a 1991 grand larceny conviction. The legislation removes his disqualification based on the finding that he has since lived as a law-abiding citizen after completing his sentence. By passing this act, the state legislature officially reinstates his eligibility to participate in elections without requiring him to undergo a new legal process.
