Do you believe the new CORI reform law goes far enough in restoring fairness and accuracy to criminal records reporting?

I think that it was good thing. CORI’s been holding people back for far too long.

It’s a good thing, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. Lift the restriction of getting higher paying job in big companies.

Everyone deserves a second chance without having a lifetime ‘noose’ around their neck. The new law adds value to society if you’re working.

My support for the governor’s signing and lifting the CORI  restrictions is primarily for the kids, allowing their fathers [and mothers] to be able to support them economically. Otherwise, we see the same neglect.

I’m glad that the governor passed the law because people weren’t able to get jobs! Yet if the law still prohibits people from getting their dream jobs because of past specific crimes, we still have a way to go.

The time limits as to how far back they can go is still too far. I understand some categories still need attention, but not a blanket cover-all.
