Senate Bill 95 aims to amend existing statutes regarding restitution orders for human trafficking convictions and the restoration of voting rights for individuals with felony convictions. The bill mandates that if a defendant is sentenced or placed on probation for human trafficking, the court must require immediate payment of restitution. Should the defendant fail to pay immediately, the court is obligated to issue an execution against the defendant's property to enforce the restitution. This change emphasizes the urgency of restitution in cases of human trafficking, ensuring that victims receive compensation without delay.

Additionally, the bill modifies the conditions under which a person disqualified from voting due to a felony conviction can have their voting rights restored. Currently, restoration occurs upon completion of the term of imprisonment or probation. The new provisions stipulate that, in addition to completing their sentence, individuals must also pay all associated fines, costs, fees, surcharges, and restitution, as well as complete any court-ordered community service related to their crime. This amendment aims to ensure that individuals fulfill all legal and financial obligations before regaining their right to vote.
