HB 1982 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Tramaine Wagner of Walthall County.

HB 1982 restores voting rights to Tramaine Wagner, a Walthall County resident, after his conviction for robbery and conspiracy in 2007. The bill specifically overturns his disqualification as an elector, stating he has since "conducted himself as a law-abiding and honorable citizen" following his full release from probation in 2022. This is a personal legislative act affecting only Wagner, not a broader policy change. The bill passed the House but died in committee in April 2025.
