SECTION 1. The right of suffrage is hereby fully and completely restored to Quintin Purnell of Grenada County, Mississippi, who was disqualified as an elector as a result of his conviction for the crime of grand larceny on April 22, 1992, in Montgomery County, Mississippi, for which he was sentenced to serve sixty (60) months of supervised probation under the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
