HRES 1162 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of April 2024 as "Second Chance Month".

This non-binding resolution supports designating April 2024 as "Second Chance Month" to raise public awareness about barriers (like employment restrictions, housing limitations, and educational barriers) that individuals with criminal records face after incarceration. It calls on communities, employers, and organizations to take action to help these individuals reintegrate successfully and become productive members of society. The resolution emphasizes that these "collateral consequences" often persist even after individuals have served their time, hindering their ability to secure jobs, housing, and education.
