Bill overview
This bill, S.1754, proposed establishing a ‘fresh start’ program within the Executive Office of Public Safety to address negative consequences that can persist after an individual has served their time. The goal was to remove certain ‘existential negative collateral consequences’ that can hinder successful reintegration into society. While the bill was initially introduced and passed by the House, it ultimately failed in the Senate. Similar proposals have been considered in the past.
