MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A4009A SPONSOR: Gibbs
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to providing notice of voting rights to persons released from local jails   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Provides notice upon release from a local correctional facility of the right to vote   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends Section 510 of the correction law by adding a new subdivision 2. Section 2 is the effective date.   DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): Click here to enter text.   JUSTIFICATION: Many people, including state and local officials, are confused as to whether a person who has been through the criminal justice system has lost the right to vote and, if so, when he or she regains voting rights. Simply put, anyone who is not incarcerated for a felony conviction or on parole for a felony conviction retains the right to vote. People arrested have not lost the right to vote. Persons detained in jails pre-trial have not lost the right to vote and can even vote by absentee ballot while they are in jail. Persons convicted of misdemeanors never lose their right to vote whether they are in jail, on probation or have completed their supervision. In fact, anyone on probation is eligible to vote. Even felons who have completed their parole supervision are eligi- ble to vote. It is only persons incarcerated for a felony or on parole for the conviction of a felony who have lost their right to vote.This bill would require local correctional facilities to provide notice of voting rights to persons being released so that such persons will know whether and when they are eligible to vote, how to register to vote, and have information about the mechanics and importance of voting.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2021: (Rozic) - Third Reading 2019: A5321(Rozic)- Third Reading 2020:45321 A690(Rozic)- Third Reading 2018:A7674 (Rozic) - Third Reading   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Minimal   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect in ninety days.
