The citizens seeking to benefit from the enactment of this Act are not the stereotypical predatory violent criminals lurking around the corners and in shadows of society. This Act is intended to empower first time non-violent ex-offenders that have paid and fulfilled all of their legal obligations and have remained free of substance dependencies. These are people who have been upstanding citizens for a substantial duration of time since their infraction. In some cases our society has handcuffed them and limited their potential positive impact to their respective communities. These citizens are all around us. They are your fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, church members and neighbors. Helping someone you know is at the heart if this petition.
