HB 1950 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Omar Eugene Magee of Covington County.

HB 1950 is a one-time bill restoring voting rights to Omar Eugene Magee of Covington County, Mississippi, who lost suffrage due to past convictions (grand larceny in 1978, burglary in 1985, and drug delivery in 1999). It specifically states he completed all sentences by 2008 and has been a law-abiding citizen since. The bill was passed by the House but died in committee without becoming law. This is a personal restoration, not a change to general voting laws.
