Clarification on SB 83

Several people have read SB 83 and have not been able to find the parolee voting information. That piece is an amendment to the original bill. What it says is that we should change the statute to read (basically), "You cannot vote if you are confined in a public prison." Right now the statute reads "if you are confined to a public prison or on parole."

Thanks. With this tip I was able to find the relevant language in the February 12, 2007 portion of the Senate Journal at the General Assembly website on page 235.
