HB 4009 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jerome Wyatt of Jones County.

HB 4009 restores Jerome Wyatt’s voting rights in Jones County, Mississippi, after he lost them due to a 2020 embezzlement conviction. The bill states Wyatt completed his probation in 2023 and has since been a law-abiding citizen. This is a direct restoration of voting rights with no broader policy changes or mechanisms beyond this individual case. The bill died in committee in April 2025 but would have immediately reinstated his eligibility to vote.
