Limit landlords from going back more than 5 years for drug offenses of potential tenants and allow high level drug offenses to be expunged.
Why is this important?
It is hard for convicted felons to move on with their lives when the society we live limits us from living in positive neighborhoods and does not allow us to clean our records. Living in recovery is hard enough, and being forced to live in the same neighborhoods that we grew up in makes it even harder. Finding jobs is also an issue. If we had the ability to prove our recovery in order to expunge records it would make our lives more successful and reduce recidivism.
