Suffrage; restore to Lasondra Bowling of Rankin County.
This bill restores the right to vote to Lasondra Bowling, a resident of Rankin County, Mississippi, who had previously lost her voting rights due to criminal convictions for embezzlement and conspiracy. The legislation formally reinstates her suffrage after she completed her prison sentence and probation, noting that she has since lived as a law-abiding citizen. The act takes effect immediately upon passage and does not change any broader voting laws or affect other individuals.
