Amends TCA Title 40, Chapter 29.
Tennessee HB1053 amends existing law regarding voter registration eligibility for individuals with child support obligations. The bill allows individuals to apply for provisional restoration of their voting rights if they enter into a payment plan to become current on unpaid child support, rather than requiring them to be fully current before applying. Key provisions include the requirement for the court to revoke provisional voting rights if the individual fails to adhere to the payment plan, while also ensuring the individual is provided with court-appointed counsel and an opportunity to present their financial circumstances.
