The Georgia Council on Criminal Justice Reform’s annual report called for changes that would help released offenders rejoin their communities. In a short legislative session, the recommendations of the report released Friday, which dovetail with the priority set by the governor’s office of helping released offenders re-enter society, are most likely to see discussion. Proposals include legislation that would assist offenders in finding jobs and housing, reducing barriers for certain offenders to obtain a driver’s license and a “ban the box” provision for state jobs (excluding law enforcement), which would remove the requirement for people to disclose convictions in their initial employment applications.
