A bipartisan duo in the state House on May 22 announced that they've teamed up to introduce legislation aimed at easing the path for ex-offenders to be licensed and certified professionals.
State Reps. Sheryl Delozier, R-Cumberland, and Jordan Harris, D-Philadelphia, unveiled House Bill 1477, which would ensure the boards overseeing licensure for 30 occupations are using fair, consistent methods.
Delozier said the new measure—which has attracted more than 30 co-sponsors—would be an appropriate follow-up the Clean Slate Act, which erases nonviolent offenses from criminal record of persons who go 10 years without a subsequent arrest.
