Suffrage; restore to Mary Wayne Prater of Oktibbeha County.
HB 4011 is a procedural bill that restores voting rights to a specific individual, Mary Wayne Prater of Oktibbeha County, Mississippi. It addresses her disqualification following a 2002 conviction for false pretense, multiple probation violations, and subsequent sentences including house arrest and incarceration (ending in 2008). The bill states she has since "conducted herself as a law-abiding and honorable citizen" and formally restores her suffrage rights. This is a one-time restoration for Prater, not a change to general voting laws. The bill died in committee in April 2025 and did not become law.
