“Ultimately, the state is going to be the [beneficiary] of more job opportunities and increased income and economic prosperity for all Pennsylvanians, including those with criminal records,” said Jenna Moll, deputy director of the Justice Action Network.

Moll’s organization has lobbied for licensing reforms in Pennsylvania and other states, including Arizona, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. According to Moll, it plans to advocate for similar policies in New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington starting next year.
