FL S0934

Automatically restores civil rights to persons convicted of felonies upon completion of their sentence and all supervision conditions, excluding the right to own, possess, or use firearms.

Defines "completion of sentence" as release from incarceration upon expiration of sentence with all terms and conditions fulfilled, or completion of all supervision terms if not incarcerated.

Permanently excludes from automatic restoration those convicted of murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child, sexual battery, incest, sexual performance by a child, trafficking of minors, treason, or impeachment convictions.

Requires courts to notify defendants before accepting guilty pleas or imposing sentences whether their specific felony conviction will result in permanent or temporary loss of civil rights.

Requires the Secretary of State to develop an education program for judges, attorneys, election officials, corrections officials, and the public regarding civil rights restoration requirements under the act.
