Bill overview
This House Resolution expresses support for designating April 2023 as "Second Chance Month." It highlights the challenges faced by individuals with criminal records due to ‘collateral consequences’ – legal and societal barriers that hinder their ability to find employment, housing, and education. The resolution acknowledges efforts to address these issues, such as the First Step Act and the Second Chance Act, and calls for increased public awareness and support for extending second chances to those who have paid their debt to society.
