MS HB57

Limits disenfranchising crimes to only those specifically listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, removing authority for the Attorney General to interpret other crimes as disenfranchising.

Restores voting rights to any person who was previously disenfranchised based on an Attorney General opinion interpreting a crime as disenfranchising when that crime is not listed in Section 241.

Amends voter registration and qualification statutes (Sections 23-15-11 and 23-15-151) to reference only crimes listed in Section 241 of the Mississippi Constitution as grounds for disenfranchisement.

Brings forward Section 97-39-3 regarding dueling-related disenfranchisement for possible amendment.

Takes effect upon passage.
