Suffrage; restore to Krisi M. Weining-Cox of Marshall County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Krisi M. Wiening-Cox of Marshall County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her suffrage rights due to a felony conviction for receiving stolen property. The legislation removes her disqualification from voting after she completed her prison sentence and demonstrated lawful behavior since her release in 2012. The act takes effect immediately upon passage and applies specifically to this individual rather than establishing a general policy change.
