HB 4012 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Joy Horton of Amite County.

This bill restores Joy Horton's voting rights in Amite County, Mississippi, after she was disqualified due to a 2012 conviction for possession of stolen property (which she completed serving by December 2013). The legislation explicitly states her sentence was fully served and confirms she has been a law-abiding citizen since. It is a one-time restoration for an individual, not a broader policy change, and does not alter voting laws for other voters.
