SB 768 - Under current law, a person who has been convicted of a felony may not hold public office, may not vote if the felony was related to an election crime, and may not possess a firearm.

This act provides that any person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm because he or she was convicted of a felony, shall have his or her civil rights restored upon his or her discharge from confinement, except for certain felonies as provided in this act. Additionally, such person may hold public office and may vote.

This act is substantially similar to HB 1828 (2016).
