HB 4099 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Dustin Darell Mills of Rankin County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Dustin Darell Mills of Rankin County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting privileges due to prior felony convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his case by acknowledging that he has served his sentence and conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen since his release. By passing this act, the legislature formally removes the legal barriers preventing him from participating in elections. Although the bill was signed into law, it was subsequently vetoed by the governor, meaning the restoration of his suffrage has not taken effect.
