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 other supervised release. By adopting this resolution, the South Carolina General Assembly aims to advocate for the restoration of voting rights to those who have completed their sentences, aligning with practices in other states where voting rights are maintained or restored more readily.
