SB 3290 — Suffrage; restore to Jerlean Cummings

Overview

SB 3290 is a bill introduced on March 24, 2025, titled “Suffrage; restore to Jerlean Cummings.” The bill was classified as a judiciary, Division B measure. Based on the title, its stated purpose is to restore suffrage (voting rights) to a named individual, Jerlean Cummings. The bill did not advance and died in committee.

Legislative History and Status

  • Introduced: March 24, 2025
  • Referred to: Judiciary, Division B (March 24, 2025)
  • Action: Died in Committee (April 3, 2025)

Purpose and Intent

  • The primary objective appears to be to restore voting rights to Jerlean Cummings. The title indicates a personal restoration of suffrage rather than broad, general policy changes to the electorate.
  • As a named individual-focused measure, the bill would address the specific disenfranchisement status of Jerlean Cummings, pending any detailed conditions or procedural steps outlined in the full text.

Key Provisions (Based on Title and Status)

  • Restore suffrage rights to Jerlean Cummings. The available information does not include the full text, so details such as timelines, criteria, or accompanying prerequisites are not specified here.
  • The bill would presumably direct relevant state election authorities or statutes to reflect Jerlean Cummings as an eligible voter, if enacted.

Note: The full statutory language is not provided in the material available, so the exact mechanisms, if any, conditions, or scope beyond restoring Jerlean Cummings’s voting rights cannot be confirmed from this summary alone.

Affected Parties and Impact

  • Directly affected: Jerlean Cummings, who would regain eligibility to vote if the bill were enacted.
  • Secondary effects: State election officials and voter registration systems would need to update records to reflect the restoration of rights for Jerlean Cummings. Because the measure is targeted to a named individual, it would not represent a broad policy change to the electorate without additional text restoring rights for others.

Practical Implications and Next Steps

  • Because the bill died in committee, it did not progress to the floor for a vote and did not become law.
  • If similar measures are pursued in the future, proponents may seek to address the same goals through new language or broader restoration provisions.

Bottom-line

SB 3290 sought to restore suffrage to Jerlean Cummings but did not advance beyond committee in the 2025 session.
