Bill
SB 3284
Private act to restore Tracey Haymon's right to vote; applies only to her, not broader voting reform; died in committee.
Status: Died In Committee
Introduction:
SB 3284 is a targeted (private) bill titled “Suffrage; restore to Tracey Haymon.” The bill appears to seek to restore the right to vote to a named individual, Tracey Haymon, rather than to enact broad changes to voting laws.
Purpose and scope:
- Main goal: Restore suffrage (the right to vote) for the named individual, Tracey Haymon.
- Nature of the measure: Private/individual act rather than general legislation affecting all voters or addressing statewide voting procedures.
- Implication: If enacted, the restoration would apply specifically to Tracey Haymon and would not automatically extend to other individuals or alter general disenfranchisement policies.
Key provisions (as indicated by title and lack of full text):
- The exact statutory language is not provided in the available material. Based on the title, the bill would authorize or direct action to restore Tracey Haymon’s voting rights.
- Because this is a private act, it likely would specify steps for recognizing Haymon’s suffrage status in official records and enable participation in elections for the individual, subject to applicable state law.
Who is affected:
- Primary beneficiary: Tracey Haymon.
- Other potential indirect effects: State elections officials and voter-registration authorities would implement the restoration for Haymon. The bill would not alter eligibility rules for the general electorate.
Procedural history and timeline:
- 2025-03-19: Introduced and Referred to Judiciary, Division B.
- 2025-04-03: Died In Committee (the bill did not advance to a floor vote or become law).
Impact and next steps:
- Short-term impact: If enacted, Tracey Haymon would regain the right to vote, assuming restoration is consistent with any other legal requirements (e.g., eligibility for registration and participation in elections).
- Long-term, policy impact: As a private act, it sets a precedent for targeted suffrage restoration but does not constitute general policy reform. If there is interest in broader restoration of voting rights, proponents would need to pursue general legislation rather than private acts.
- For researchers: To assess full implications, review the bill’s full text in the legislative database to confirm exact language and any related amendments or conditions.
