HOUSE RESOLUTION DESIGNATING APRIL OF 2025, TO BE "SECOND CHANCE MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND
This bill is a symbolic resolution designating April 2025 as "Second Chance Month" in Rhode Island. It recognizes the importance of helping people with criminal records reintegrate into society, citing barriers like employment discrimination and housing restrictions.

It directs the Secretary of State to share the resolution with organizations supporting formerly incarcerated individuals. This is a commemorative measure, not a policy change.
