Suffrage; restore to April Pace-Brooks of Coahoma County.
HB 1998 restores voting rights to April Pace-Brooks of Coahoma County, Mississippi, who lost her right to vote after a 2003 embezzlement conviction that resulted in 60 months of probation (completed in 2008). The bill states she has since been a law-abiding citizen. It is a specific, one-time restoration of voting rights for an individual, not a new policy affecting broader groups. The bill passed the legislature but died in committee in April 2025.
