Committee advances restoration bill for Cordero Martin, citing prior convictions and completed supervision
Summary
Chair summarized SB 3402 for Cordero Martin: a 2014 felony shoplifting conviction and a 2016 conspiracy conviction, subsequent sentences and parole, and a 2020 complete discharge from supervision; the committee advanced the bill by voice vote.
The committee heard a summary of Senate Bill 3402, which seeks to restore voting rights to Cordero Martin of Harrison County. The chair read the case history: a felony shoplifting conviction on June 19, 2014 and a later conviction for conspiracy to introduce a controlled substance on June 30, 2016; sentencing and parole records were included in the committee packet, and the chair said Martin was paroled in 2016 and discharged from supervision in 2020.
After the summary the committee moved and advanced SB 3402 by voice vote; the chair recorded "the ayes have it." Committee paperwork included MDOC attachments required for the packet, though no additional witnesses or public comment appeared in the hearing record.
