SB 3290 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Jerlean Cummings.

This bill (SB 3290) restores voting rights to Jerlean Cummings of Clay County, Mississippi, who was disqualified after a 1997 conviction for false pretenses. It specifically reinstates her suffrage rights because she completed her sentence by July 2000, has been law-abiding since, and Mississippi's records show no ongoing disqualification. The bill is a one-time restoration for this individual, not a broad policy change. It would take effect July 1, 2025, but died in committee on April 3, 2025.
