ConnectFM: Occupational license bill for people with criminal histories passes in PA House, Senate

“Now more than ever, Pennsylvanians need less red tape and bureaucracy to help get the economy moving and get people back to work,” said Jenna Moll, Deputy Director of Justice Action Network. “In a reality where a quarter of jobs require an occupational license, Senate Bill 637, opens up a critical lifeline to individuals charged with minor, non-violent offenses that are looking to turn their lives around. As the economy opens back up, it’s critical that the economic recovery includes all Pennsylvanians – and that includes the millions of people impacted by the justice system. I’d like to thank Senator DiSanto, Senator Schwank, Representative Delozier, and Representative Harris for spearheading this historic legislation, and we look forward to seeing Governor Wolf sign it into law.”
