On June 27, the Senate voted to pass a bill sponsored by Sens. Anthony Williams, D-Delaware; Lisa Baker, R-Luzerne; and Camera Bartolotta, R-Beaver, that will reform Pennsylvania's probation system.

"I've said this before, and I will continue to say it—people deserve second chances," Williams said. "In the past, we have put bipartisan support behind legislation regarding probation reform. With this bill, individuals will have a greater chance to regain their status as contributing members of our communities."
