TN HB0449

Voting rights for persons convicted of infamous crimes are automatically restored upon completion of incarceration, probation, and parole, eliminating the current requirement to petition a court for restoration

Unpaid monetary obligations including fines, restitution, court costs, and child support cannot be used to deny or delay voting rights restoration

Permanent voting disqualification remains only for first degree murder, aggravated rape, treason, or voter fraud convictions after July 1, 1986

Wardens, parole officers, and probation officers must issue certificates of voting rights restoration to eligible individuals upon sentence completion, with written explanation of the registration process

Department of Correction must report newly eligible voters to the Secretary of State at least twice monthly to facilitate voter registration verification
