Rep. Nydia Velázquez: “The stigma of incarceration can make basic needs like employment inaccessible for those that have already paid their debt to society. For returning citizens, entrepreneurship is a proven tool that can unlock economic opportunities and provide a path toward a healthy and productive life. By providing these individuals with the knowledge and training needed to run a small business, this bill will help to ensure that returning citizens have a place in our economy and a genuine second chance.”
