Subject: BAN THE BOX PASSES SENATE CHAMBER!!
To: Caryn York <caryn@jotf.org>
Hi Everyone,
As you can probably tell from the email's subject, BAN THE BOX HAS FINALLY PASSED OUT OF THE SENATE CHAMBER!! I can not express how grateful we are to all of you over the past years as we pushed to move this bill forward. And, now, for the first time in four (4) years, we can all say that because of our strong advocacy efforts, a statewide initiative to remove the arrest/conviction question from the initial state job application has successfully cleared the Senate chamber. Congrats to all for all of your hard work!
NEXT STEPS
Now that the bill has cleared the Senate, it must travel to the House chamber where it will return to the House Appropriations Committee. As you all probably remember, this bill faced numerous obstacles to passage in the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Personnel last year. This bill has never been able to make it out of the House Appropriations Personnel Subcommittee to the full committee for a vote. Therefore, it is extremely important that we continue this great momentum and ensure the bill passes out of the House. Now, more than ever, it is critical that committee members, especially the committee chair Delegate Norman Conway (D - District 38B, Wicomico & Worcester Counties), hear how important it is that this bill passes out of the Appropriations Committee and heads to the House floor.
Please contact committee Chairman Norman Conway as soon as possible by email or by phone at (410) 841-3425 to urge his support and to pass SB 4 out of his committee. While we are not yet sure when SB 4 will head to the House Appropriations Committee, it is extremely important that we flood the Chairman's office NOW with emails and phone calls of support for this important initiative. A quick phone call or email goes a long way...
Again, thank you all so much for all of your hard work in helping to pass SB 4 out of the Senate chamber! As always, I will be sure to keep you all posted on any and all new updates. Now, let's get to work on passing SB 4 out of the House!
Take care & talk soon,
Caryn
