HB 1999 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Thomas G. Owens of Lamar County.

HB 1999 restores voting rights to Thomas G. Owens of Lamar County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified due to a 2019 conviction for burglary and malicious mischief. The bill specifically reverses his disqualification after he completed four years of post-release supervision and was discharged from probation in 2021, with the Legislature noting he has since been a law-abiding citizen. This is a direct restoration of suffrage for one individual, not a broad policy change.
