A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE PASSING OF MARVIN DAVID LONG JR. OF LORIS AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Summary
H3906 is a concurrent resolution expressing the South Carolina General Assembly’s sorrow at the death of Marvin David “M.D.” Long Jr. of Loris and extending sympathy to his family and friends. The resolution recites biographical details about Mr. Long, including his age, family background, work history, church affiliation, and surviving relatives, and then formally conveys condolences on behalf of the House and Senate.
This measure does not change substantive law, create a new program, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial and commemorative: it authorizes the General Assembly to officially recognize Mr. Long’s passing and to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a gesture of respect and remembrance.
Impact
H3906 has no direct impact on the South Carolina Code or on regulatory obligations for any person or entity. As a concurrent resolution, it is a legislative expression of sympathy only, with no statutory amendments, no fiscal effect, and no legal rights or duties created or altered for the state, local governments, or private parties.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding the bill is uniformly respectful and sympathetic. The text itself is entirely memorial in tone, and there is no recorded committee debate or vote history indicating opposition or controversy. The resolution reflects a routine bipartisan tradition of honoring the life of a deceased constituent and offering condolences to the family.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the measure is a nonbinding memorial resolution, it does not appear to have generated policy disagreement, procedural dispute, or partisan division. The only substantive content is the commemorative language honoring Marvin David Long Jr. and acknowledging his family and community ties.
