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

This bill (HR 7) creates a new rule requiring Mississippi House committees to publicly list the objective criteria they use when deciding whether to advance bills related to restoring voting rights (suffrage). It specifies that committees must post factors like whether a person was convicted of a disenfranchising crime (with a state-listed offense guide), completed their sentence including probation/parole, or hasn't been incarcerated in a state prison in the last five years. The rule aims to make the committee process transparent and accessible for voting rights restoration bills, but the bill died in committee on April 3, 2025.
