Senate Bill 504 was signed today by Governor Brown. Thank you for everyone’s calls, letters, testimony and legislative visits to make this happen!!!
This law will make it free to seal juvenile records in California, so that young people will be STARTING OVER STRONG when they turn 18 and apply for jobs, school, housing and other opportunities.(SB 504 was authored by Senator Ricardo Lara and co-sponsored by Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, Youth Justice Coalition, East Bay Community Law Center and the California Public Defenders Association.)
