Suffrage; restore to Tracey Rushing of Hinds County.
HB 1974 restores voting rights to Tracey Rushing of Hinds County, Mississippi, who was disqualified due to past felony convictions (robbery in 1984 and compounding/burglary in 1993/1996). The bill states Rushing completed his sentences by 1999 and has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. This is a one-time restoration for an individual, not a new voting rights policy. The bill died in committee in April 2025 and did not become law.
