Suffrage; restore to Jillinda Bateman of Amite County.
HB 4000 restores voting rights to Jilinda Leggett-Bateman of Amite County, Mississippi, who lost her right to vote following a 2011 fraud conviction. The bill specifies she completed probation in 2013 and has since maintained a law-abiding record, meeting criteria for suffrage restoration. This is a targeted legislative act restoring a specific individual's voting rights, not a broader policy change. The bill died in committee in April 2025 and did not become law.
