                               H.R. 3295

                    Offered By Ms. Carson of Indiana

       Amendment No.1 Add at the end of section 502 the following:
       (8) The State does not prohibit any individual who is a 
     veteran from registering to vote for any election for public 
     office, or from voting in any election for public office, on 
     the grounds that the individual has been convicted of a 
     felony if (at the time the individual seeks to register to 
     vote or vote) the individual is no longer in the custody of 
     the State or the Federal government as a result of the 
     individual's conviction. For purposes of this paragraph, the 
     term ``veteran'' means a person who served in the active 
     military, naval, or air service (as defined in section 
     101(24) of title 38, United States Code) and who was 
     discharged or released therefrom under conditions 
     characterized as honorable.
