Voting Rights
House Bill Number:
232
House Bill 232 would automatically restore voting rights to almost all people who have a felony in their past upon completion of their prison sentence, probation or parole. It would restore other civil rights after a five-year waiting period.
HB 232 is a proposed constitutional amendment and would be placed on the November 2022 ballot if approved by legislators.
Bill Sponsor(s):
Reps. Jason Nemes, Pamela Stevenson, William Lawrence and others
HB 232 is similar to legislation passed by a House committee last year that received no further consideration when the pandemic curtailed the 2020 session. It has bipartisan sponsorship and support.
HB 232 has not yet been assigned to a committee but should go to the Elections, Constitutional Amendments & Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.
