This bill aims to provide compensation to the descendants of Charles Greenlee, Walter Irvin, Samuel Shepherd, and Ernest Thomas, who were wrongfully convicted in a racially charged case in 1949. The bill includes a declaration that the facts presented in the preamble are true and appropriates a specified sum from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of State for the relief of these descendants. It acknowledges the historical injustices faced by these individuals and their families, culminating in the recognition of their wrongful convictions and subsequent pardons issued by Governor DeSantis in 2019.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any person compensated under this act will be ineligible for further compensation related to the events described. This provision aims to ensure that the compensation provided is final and conclusive. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, reflecting the state's commitment to addressing past injustices and providing some measure of redress to the affected families.
