Plain-English Summary

This bill would undo two previous laws that were designed to reduce incarceration rates and give people with criminal records a second chance at employment and other opportunities. By repealing these laws, the bill would reverse criminal justice reforms that had made it easier for formerly incarcerated individuals to find jobs and rebuild their lives after serving their sentences. The change would primarily affect people with prior convictions and organizations that had been required to consider hiring them.
