HB 1924 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Joseph Earl Greer of Hinds County.

This bill (HB 1924) restores voting rights to Joseph Earl Greer, a Hinds County, Mississippi resident. It specifically reverses his disqualification as an elector stemming from three past convictions: forgery (1993), grand larceny (2000), and cocaine possession (2011), all of which resulted in probation or short sentences. The bill cites his completion of all sentences by 2016 and current law-abiding conduct as justification. It does not change general voting laws but directly affects only this individual's right to vote. The bill passed the House but died in committee in April 2025.
