The bill proposes an appropriation of $200,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to support a statewide education campaign focused on second-chance hiring. This initiative aims to inform employers about the advantages of hiring individuals with conviction records and the incentives available under state and federal law for doing so.

The campaign will include the development of an informational website and the establishment of a hotline service to assist employers. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation, emphasizing the state's commitment to enhancing workforce development through inclusive hiring practices.
