Donald J. Trump Voting Rights Restoration Act; create.
This bill, titled "Donald J. Trump Voting Rights Restoration Act," is misleading - it actually restricts voting rights, not restores them. It would suspend voting for Mississippi residents convicted of specific crimes (including voter fraud, bribery, theft, arson, perjury, forgery, embezzlement, or bigamy) until they complete all sentencing requirements (like parole), excluding murder and rape convictions. The law would require county registrars to remove affected voters from rolls upon conviction and restore rights only after sentencing ends. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law. (Note: The title references Donald J. Trump but contains no policy connection to him.)
