HB 4102 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Joseph Earl Greer of Hinds County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Joseph Earl Greer of Hinds County, Mississippi, after he was previously disqualified due to past criminal convictions. The legislation specifically addresses his disqualification stemming from a 1993 forgery conviction and subsequent offenses, noting that he has completed his sentences and served time on probation. By declaring him a law-abiding citizen, the act removes the legal barrier preventing him from participating in elections. Once passed, the bill takes effect immediately, allowing Greer to exercise his suffrage rights.
