“’These poll results show that Maryland voters are aligned with the momentum building for second chances across the country,’ said Sheena Meade, CEO of The Clean Slate Initiative, in a statement. ‘The Maryland Clean Slate Act reflects the values voters across the political spectrum have made clear: once someone has earned a second chance, the system shouldn’t stand in their way. Thirteen states, and Washington D.C., have recognized that automated record sealing is a common-sense solution to strengthen families, expand the workforce, and improve public safety — and Maryland should be on that list, too.’”
