Suffrage; restoration upon completion of sentence and other conditions for individuals convicted of nonviolent crimes.

SB 2048, the "Restoration of Voting Rights Act," would automatically restore voting rights to individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies upon completing their sentence, paying all fines and restitution, and maintaining a crime-free record for seven years. It directly affects Mississippi residents with nonviolent felony convictions who meet these specific criteria. The bill defines "nonviolent felony" as crimes not involving physical force against people or significant property harm. It amends state election laws to remove disenfranchisement for qualifying individuals and require automatic restoration of voting eligibility without additional legal action.
