Show i of incarceration to which the felon was sentenced. Under H.B. 190, incarcerated felons would be prohibited from voting in Utah, but felons on probation or parole or who had completed their term of incarceration could vote. H.B. 190 does not restore the right to hold elective office to persons convicted of a felony. Effective Date Proposition 4 takes effect on January 1, 1999. 30 Fiscal Impact If Proposition 4 passes, the initial cost to the state of implementing H.B. 190 is estimated to be $15,000 for a software program to extract existing names from previous felony convictions and to record names from new felony convictions. Ongoing costs to state government to maintain the list of persons convicted of a felony will be approximately $8,000 per year. County clerks would also face additional costs to maintain a file providing election rolls that exclude names of incarcerated felons. |
