SB1119 amends Tennessee voting rights to require individuals to be current in child support obligations to restore suffrage.
SB1119 modifies Tennessee's voting rights by making individuals ineligible to apply for a voter registration card unless they are current in all child support obligations. However, individuals can provisionally restore their right of suffrage by entering a payment plan. The court can revoke this provisional right if the individual fails to adhere to the payment plan, but must first provide court-appointed counsel and allow the individual to submit proof of financial inability to pay.
