HB 4149 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Suffrage; restore to Robert Henley of Noxubee County.

This bill restores the right to vote to Robert Henley of Noxubee County, Mississippi, who was previously disqualified from voting due to a 2002 embezzlement conviction. The legislation states that Henley has served his sentence and been released, and acknowledges his conduct as a law-abiding citizen since his release. Once enacted, the act takes effect immediately, allowing Henley to participate in elections. The measure is a specific restoration of voting rights for one individual rather than a change to general election laws.
