✨Big news from the Georgia State Capitol - all THREE of GJP’s 2026 priorities have passed the General Assembly and are now headed to the Governor’s desk!

Here’s what that means: ☑️HB 162 – Modernizes the First Offender Act by sealing records upon successful completion of a sentence, helping ensure a true second chance ☑️HB 535 – Reduces unnecessary time in custody by addressing how time is calculated for probation revocation hearings ☑️SB 207 – Expands access to careers through occupational licensing changes across 40+ boards for people with a record This is meaningful progress for communities across Georgia. We’re grateful to the partners, advocates, and legislators who made this possible! 🙌 More to come!
