That the Senate—
designates April 2017 as “Second Chance Month”;
honors the work of communities, governmental entities, nonprofit organizations, congregations, employers, and individuals to remove unnecessary legal and societal barriers that prevent an individual with a criminal record from becoming a productive member of society; and
calls on the people of the United States to observe Second Chance Month through actions and programs that—
promote awareness of collateral consequences; and
provide closure for individuals who have paid their debts.
