The bill H. 3143 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 24-21-925, which allows individuals convicted of felony offenses that are not classified as "crimes of violence" to apply for a limited pardon. This limited pardon would permit these individuals to possess firearms solely for hunting purposes, provided they have completed their sentence.

Additionally, the bill establishes an application fee of two hundred dollars for this limited pardon. Of this fee, one hundred dollars will be retained by the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, while the other one hundred dollars will be allocated to the State Law Enforcement Division. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
