Bill overview
This bill aims to reduce the long-term consequences individuals face after being accused of a crime, often referred to as ‘collateral consequences.’ It seeks to restore certain rights and protections, particularly focusing on upholding the presumption of innocence – the legal principle that a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. The legislation intends to simplify the process for individuals to regain lost opportunities and freedoms following criminal charges or convictions. It is part of a series of similar bills proposing reforms to the justice system.
