New federal rule would bar ‘noncompete’ agreements for most employees

Mississippi lawmakers move toward restoring voting rights to 32 felons as broader suffrage bill dies
SUMMARY: Mississippi legislators have advanced bills to restore voting rights to 32 people convicted of felonies, reflecting the state's piecemeal approach to suffrage restoration and its history of disenfranchising crimes from the Jim Crow era. These individuals must get a pardon from the governor or have individual bills passed with two-thirds approval. The state constitution lists 22 crimes that result in loss of voting rights, with the addition of murder and rape in 1968. Efforts to restore suffrage have faced challenges, including a recent bill that was killed. Lawmakers are working to restore voting rights for select individuals, but some advocate for full restoration for all disenfranchised individuals.
