💨 Abstract

Tennessee legislature has approved a bill to separate the restoration of voting rights, gun rights, and other citizenship rights for felons, requiring a judge's approval or a governor's pardon. Critics argue the process remains costly, onerous, and unclear, potentially disenfranchising a significant number of Tennesseans, particularly African Americans. The bill awaits Governor Bill Lee's signature.
