LR 125 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Recognize April 2025 as Second Chance Month in Nebraska

This resolution doesn't create new laws or programs. It formally designates April 2025 as "Second Chance Month" in Nebraska to raise awareness about the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals and promote reentry support. The resolution acknowledges barriers to housing, employment, and education for over 4,000 Nebraskans returning from prison each year. It serves as a symbolic gesture to affirm dignity and support for people with criminal records, without implementing any policy changes.
