SCR 31 Delaware Senate · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

PROCLAIMING APRIL 2025 AS "SECOND CHANCE MONTH" IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 31) declares April 2025 as "Second Chance Month" in Delaware to raise public awareness about the challenges individuals with criminal records face in finding housing, employment, and reintegration. It recognizes Delaware's existing criminal justice reforms (such as expanded expungement and vocational programs) and encourages community efforts to support reentry. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding - it is a symbolic proclamation to highlight systemic barriers and promote second-chance opportunities.
