Welcome to

Getting a job can be hard, but trying to get hired with a criminal record can really limit your options. A senate committee wants to help people who have gone through the system. A proposed bill would help people who have lost their civil rights get a job. Destiny Coleman was arrested when she was a teenager. She was tried as an adult. She later received a clemency letter, it�s been 10 year since her arrest, but she still has problems.

�I can�t get employed, because when they go into the FDLE database, they see my charges so nobody wants to hire me, so I can�t volunteer at my daughter�s school and I can�t get employment,� said Coleman.

If the bill makes it through this legislative session, it would go into effect in July.
