By declaring him a law-abiding citizen, the act removes the legal barrier preventing him from participating in elections. Once passed, the bill takes effect immediately, allowing Greer to exercise his suffrage rights.

Suffrage bills; require the Rules Committee to establish factors for passage of.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a new rule for the Mississippi House of Representatives to standardize how committees evaluate bills that restore voting rights to people with criminal records. Under the proposed rule, any committee considering such a bill must publish a list of specific, objective criteria on the official state website to determine if the bill should move forward. The required criteria would verify that the individual was convicted of a disenfranchising crime and has either finished their sentence or has not been in prison for the last five years. If these conditions are met, the bill would proceed without further inquiry, aiming to make the restoration process more transparent and consistent.
