Hey everyone, I know some of you have been lobbying with us for a while now and we haven't had total success yet but we've always continued our forward momentum, which is crucial to do. So thanks to all who've helped us reach 3,100 signatures! We'll keep this petition going until we get the rights restored of those with criminal convictions whether that be through sealing or expungement options.
Speaking of expungment, 2 new bills were drafted for just that. Both would include most criminal convictions.
S00180 & A06374
You can look them up here (just remember to check all the boxes -- memo, summary, action, votes, texts -- to get all the details):

These would be great as expungement is much better than sealing and both bills are pretty comprehensive so we wouldn't have to compromise too much as they're currently written.
