Senator Anthony H. Williams (D-Philadelphia) joined Governor Tom Wolf, lawmakers, and advocates for the signing of House Bill 1419, also known as the Clean Slate bill.
“There are too many people who have done their time and have worked to become fully integrated members of the community but are held back due to past convictions,” said Williams. “I applaud that we are realizing that people who have paid their debt to society deserve the chance to prove they are ready to contribute to their communities.”
