Suffrage; restore to Robert L. Adams of Washington County.
HB 1992 restores voting rights to Robert L. Adams of Washington County, Mississippi, who lost suffrage due to two manslaughter convictions (2002 and 2010). The bill specifically reinstates his right to vote after his 2021 release from corrections, citing his "law-abiding and honorable" conduct since then. It does not change general voting laws but directly affects Adams through a legislative act. The bill passed the committee referral stage but died in committee on April 3, 2025.
