Suffrage; restore to Gerald Laird of Jefferson Davis County.

HB 1918 restores voting rights to Gerald Laird of Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi, who was disqualified in 2003 after a robbery conviction (5-year sentence + 36 months probation). The bill states Laird was released in 2005 and discharged from probation in 2009, and the Legislature notes he has since lived as a "law-abiding and honorable citizen." It directly affects only Laird, reinstating his right to vote without altering broader voting laws. The bill died in committee on April 3, 2025, and has not become law.
