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 declares the facts surrounding their wrongful convictions to be true and appropriates a specified sum from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of State for the relief of their descendants. Specifically, it mandates that 25% of the appropriated amount be distributed to the daughter of Charles Greenlee, the estates of Walter Irvin and Samuel Shepherd, and the surviving spouse of Ernest Thomas.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any individual compensated under this act will be ineligible for further compensation related to the events described. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, reflecting the state's recognition of the injustices faced by these individuals and their families.
