Georgia’s Second Chances Bill (SB 288) was signed into law by Governor Kemp this August and goes into effect January 1, 2021. Under current Georgia law, almost all convictions stay on a person’s record forever, creating lifetime barriers to employment, housing, and other opportunities. SB 288 changed Georgia’s law to allow for certain convictions to be restricted and sealed after a period of time to give a second chance to thousands of Georgians who are held back by their criminal history.
