The bill mandates that the Secretary of Corrections issue a certificate of employability to certain inmates upon their release, provided they meet specific criteria, including educational achievements, a clean disciplinary record for the year prior to release, and passing a job skills assessment. The bill also stipulates that the Secretary must revoke this certificate if the inmate is convicted of a felony after release, with the option for the inmate to appeal the revocation. Additionally, the Secretary is required to inform inmates about the certificate and confirm its issuance upon request.

Furthermore, the bill modifies legal proceedings related to negligent hiring claims by allowing a certificate of employability to be admitted as evidence of an employer's due care in hiring, replacing the previous provision that allowed reliance on such a certificate as a defense. The Secretary is also tasked with submitting annual reports on the number of certificates issued and the recidivism rates of certificate holders. The bill will take effect following its publication in the statute book.
