Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Second Chance Month in the State of New York
This is a symbolic resolution (not a bill) requesting Governor Hochul to designate April 2025 as "Second Chance Month" in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but asks the Governor to formally recognize the month to raise awareness about barriers faced by people with criminal records. The resolution cites statistics on employment challenges (e.g., 90% struggle to find work) and aligns with National Second Chance Month. It urges New Yorkers to support efforts removing barriers to reentry, though it has no direct legal effect.
