Suffrage; restore to Walter Lewis of Hinds County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Walter Lewis, a resident of Hinds County who had been disqualified due to a 2013 conviction for false pretense. The legislation specifically addresses his case by noting that he has served his sentence and conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen since his release. Once enacted, the law immediately reinstates his eligibility to participate in elections without requiring further legislative action.
