FL S1696

Requires sentencing scoresheets to include notice of voting rights provisions from Florida's Constitution Article VI, Section 4, which addresses felony conviction disqualifications and restoration of voting rights.

Specifies that persons convicted of felonies (except murder or felony sexual offenses) have voting rights restored upon completion of all sentence terms including imprisonment, probation, parole, and financial obligations.

Defines "completion of all terms of sentence" to include release from imprisonment, termination of probation or community control, fulfillment of court-ordered terms, completion of supervision monitored by the Florida Commission on Offender Review, and full payment of restitution, fines, or fees as originally ordered.

Establishes that persons convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses have voting rights restored only through restoration of civil rights, and allows courts to modify financial obligations for relief purposes without infringing constitutional rights.

Takes effect July 1, 2023.
