Title
Elections, allowing persons convicted of certain felonies to vote, Sec. 15-22-36.1 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, a person who has lost his or her right to vote based upon a past criminal conviction, may apply to the Board of Pardons and Paroles for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote under certain circumstances, including payment of all fines, court costs, fees, and victim restitution as ordered by the sentencing court and completion of probation or parole and release from compliance by the court or Board of Pardons and Paroles

This bill would allow a person who has been convicted of certain crimes of moral turpitude who applies to the Board of Pardons and Paroles for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote who is unable to pay any fines, court costs, fees, and victim restitution ordered by the sentencing court at the time of sentencing to petition the sentencing court to modify the payments originally ordered by the court

This bill would provide the procedure for the modification of the payment of fines, court costs, victim restitution, and fees, allow the issuance of a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote to a person whose fines, court costs, fees, and victim restitution have been reduced, and provide for revocation of the Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote if the person fails to make the reduced payments

Relating to voting rights; to amend Section 15-22-36.1, Code of Alabama 1975, to provide that a person convicted of certain crimes of moral turpitude who applies to the Board of Pardons and Paroles for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote and who is unable to pay the fines, court costs, fees, and victim restitution ordered by the sentencing court at the time of sentencing may petition the sentencing court to modify the payments originally ordered by the court; to provide that the modification would be in lieu of full payment of the fines, court costs, fees, and victim restitution; and to provide the procedure for modification of payment of fines, court costs, fees, and victim restitution and revocation of a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote.
