That the House of Representatives—
supports the designation of “Second Chance Month”;
honors the work of communities, governmental institutions, nonprofit organizations, congregations, employers, and individuals to remove unnecessary legal and societal barriers that prevent individuals with criminal records from becoming productive members of society; and
calls upon the people of the United States to observe “Second Chance Month” through actions and programs that—
promote awareness of those unnecessary legal and social barriers; and
provide closure for individuals with a criminal record who have paid their debt.
