Suffrage; restore to Kunta Gates of Humphreys County.
HB 4096 aims to restore voting rights to Kunta Gates, a resident of Humphreys County, Mississippi, who was previously disenfranchised due to a conviction for statutory rape. The bill specifies that Gates completed his full sentence, including time served in prison and post-release supervision, and was discharged in February 2020. It also notes that Gates has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. Although the legislation was referred to a committee, it did not advance further and ultimately failed to pass.
