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 a two hundred dollar application fee for the pardon, with half of the fee retained by the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services and the other half allocated to the State Law Enforcement Division. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
