KY HB129

Proposes a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to persons convicted of felonies (excluding treason, election bribery, or election fraud) upon completion of imprisonment, probation, or parole

Automatically restores full civil rights five years after completion of any term of imprisonment, probation, or parole for felony convictions not previously pardoned

Persons convicted of subsequent felonies after having rights restored would lose voting rights until completion of the new sentence, with civil rights restoration delayed five years after that sentence

Replaces outdated constitutional language referencing "idiots and insane persons" with updated terminology regarding court-determined mental incompetency

Requires the Secretary of State to publish the proposed amendment in a newspaper and certify it to county clerks for inclusion on ballots at the next regular General Assembly election
