Fresh Start Act of 2022

The Fresh Start Act of 2022, also known as Bill 117 hr 6667, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress.

These programs may include job training, counseling, and other support services to help individuals rebuild their lives and avoid reoffending. Overall, the Fresh Start Act of 2022 aims to give individuals with a criminal record a second chance and the opportunity to move forward with their lives in a positive way. It is currently being debated in Congress and may undergo changes before being voted on.
