Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration has announced a new state program aimed at helping formerly incarcerated or arrested individuals “get their lives back on track.”
Gov. Tom Wolf was joined by representatives of Community Legal Services, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Center for American Prosperity, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry and various stakeholder and advocacy groups on Wednesday at the PA CareerLink Harrisburg Region to announce a program aimed at making it easier to navigate Pennsylvania’s new Clean Slate law.
“Clean Slate is an incredibly important piece of my administration’s commitment to helping formerly incarcerated or arrested individuals get their lives back on track,” Wolf said “And, as with any new law, implementation can be complicated and somewhat difficult to understand. Clean Slate is no different.
“So, for those looking to avail themselves of Clean Slate, who wish to wipe clean the slate of their past, there is help navigating the process, thanks to the organizations present here today.”
