## Summary

**Designates April 2026 as Second Chance Month to spotlight collateral consequences and promote reintegration.** It emphasizes human dignity and redemption and highlights how automatic barriers to employment, education, housing, and access to capital keep many people with criminal records from rebuilding their lives. The resolution cites the First Step Act and the Second Chance Act as bipartisan efforts that expanded reentry services, honors community groups and employers working to remove unnecessary barriers, and calls on the public to observe the month with programs that provide closure for individuals who have paid their debt.
