Suffrage; restore to Tony Qualls of Humphreys County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Tony Qualls of Humphreys County, Mississippi, who had lost his voting rights due to past felony convictions. It specifically addresses his legal history, noting that his final sentence ended in 2015 and that he has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. The legislation declares that his suffrage is fully and completely reinstated effective immediately upon passage. Although the bill was passed by the legislature, it was ultimately vetoed by the governor.
