The bill, H. 3006, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that expresses the belief that individuals with felony convictions should not be disqualified from registering to vote or voting if they are no longer incarcerated. The resolution highlights the significant number of disenfranchised individuals in the United States due to felony convictions, noting that as of 2022, over 4.4 million people were affected. It also addresses the historical context of felony disenfranchisement laws, which are rooted in racism and disproportionately impact Black Americans.

The resolution calls for a change in South Carolina's current laws, which continue to disenfranchise individuals with felony convictions even after they have served their time, often extending the disqualification until the completion of probation, parole, or the receipt of a pardon. By acknowledging this issue, the General Assembly aims to advocate for a more inclusive voting process that allows those who have served their sentences to participate in democracy.
