A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF LATRELL VONTHREECE HARTS OF RICHLAND COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND HER MANY FRIENDS.
H5736 is a House Resolution expressing the South Carolina House of Representatives’ sorrow at the death of LaTrell Vonthreece Harts of Richland County and extending sympathy to her family and friends. The resolution recounts her life, education, career, church service, civic involvement, and community contributions, including her work in Richland County School District One, her service on the City of Columbia Planning Commission and Urban Design Review Commission, and her volunteer leadership at Saint John Baptist Church.
The resolution also highlights her personal qualities and the many roles she held as a librarian, instructional assistant, parent and family engagement specialist, tax professional, and community volunteer. It concludes by honoring her legacy and directing that a copy of the resolution be presented to her family.
As a simple memorial resolution, H5736 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its legal effect is limited to the House’s formal expression of condolence and recognition of LaTrell Harts’ life and service. The only practical consequence is ceremonial: a copy of the resolution is to be delivered to her family.
The sentiment around the bill is uniformly respectful and sympathetic. The resolution was introduced and adopted by the House on the same day, and the sponsor list shows broad bipartisan and chamber-wide support, indicating no visible opposition. The tone of the text is celebratory and commemorative, emphasizing gratitude for her service and the positive impact she had on her community.
There is no apparent substantive contention in the bill or its legislative history. Because this is a memorial resolution, it does not involve policy tradeoffs, fiscal issues, or statutory changes that would typically generate debate. The only notable feature is the unusually broad sponsorship, which suggests consensus and a shared desire to honor the deceased member of the community.
