A resolution designating April 2026 as "Second Chance Month".

This Senate resolution designates April 2026 as Second Chance Month to raise awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with criminal records as they reenter society. The bill highlights how legal and societal barriers, such as restrictions on employment, housing, and education, often prevent formerly incarcerated people from finding meaningful work and rebuilding their lives. By honoring the work of communities and organizations that support reentry, the resolution encourages employers and the public to consider extending second chances to those who have completed their sentences. The designation aims to promote understanding of these obstacles and foster opportunities for individuals to contribute positively to their families and communities.
