N.J. Senate committee approves bill to expand job opportunities for ex-convicts
Legislation designed to expand employment opportunities for some ex-convicts in order to aid in their reentry into society was unanimously approved by the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee Monday.
The bill, S-876, would permit certain ex-offenders convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude to be employed by alcoholic beverage licensees, so long as they are not involved in the serving, selling, soliciting, mixing or handling of alcoholic beverages. (Hester. New Jersey Newsroom)
