Ex-offenders and Exemptions To Work

There has to be a cut off point

Why is this important?

This petition is about people who are ex-offenders whom have served their time in jail or prisons.They are leading a productive life. Who has changed their lives. We are talking about ex-offenders who are nurses, nurses assistance,. teachers, home health aides, students,etc.The state legislature continues to change the rules.In order for these ex-offenders to work they must apply for an exemption.It is hard to get this exemption because the state legislature what them to provide documents from 20-30 years ago.There has to be a cut off point to trying to locate the documents needed.There should be a 10 year cut off for documents. People should be concerned about this because if you apply for and exemption and can not get the documents needed then you will not be able to work. I personally have been affected by issue, I cannot work because of something I did 38 years ago, and I can not get the documents I need to get this exemption. This law has to change and be stopped. If not there will be a lot of you out of work. Lets make a change.
