Slate why one child is enough

Giants running back Devontae Booker says going up against his former Raiders teammates is 'just another game'. He felt the touches he got in the Kansas City game helped him get in a good groove and was thankful to be spared of any COVID issues that have afflicted the team all week.

The Nuggets will not have their franchise center against Indiana on Angelo Ogbonna outmuscles Alisson, and the goalkeeper's touch on the corner only goes into his own net to give West Ham an early lead over Liverpool.

Community Legal Services first worked to ease the petition process in Pennsylvania by developing a program to automatically generate expungement petitions.

The program, which was first released in , reduced the amount of time to prepare petitions from several hours to several minutes and brought greater efficiency to the petition process, helping lawyers file more petitions statewide each year. But legal aid lawyers in the state knew this would not be enough to meet the need for record-clearing. Community Legal Services teamed up with the Center for American Progress to develop and publish the idea for automating the entire record-clearing process in order to ensure that everyone who is eligible gets a clean slate.

From to , a broad bipartisan coalition—including both Democrats and Republicans, as well as directly affected communities, business, law enforcement, and even professional football players—joined Community Legal Services and CAP in advancing the first-ever clean slate bill in the country. A record query is then conducted through computer technology and any qualifying records are automatically sealed, meaning that those records will no longer come up in third-party background checks and are also shielded from public view—including from employers, housing officials, and educational institutions.

The automatic sealing also releases an individual from going through the arduous and costly process of filing a court petition. Since the measure went into effect in June , Pennsylvania has sealed more than 34 million cases and counts via automation and helped 1 million Pennsylvanians clear their records. Shortly after Pennsylvania enacted its clean slate law, Utah followed suit to become the second state in the United States to enact a clean slate measure, in a unanimous vote from both chambers.

Implementation is in the early stages, and state leaders expect the new automated process to significantly reduce the backlog of applications, where individuals often wait for up to six months just to see if they qualify for an expungement. Other states have been moving toward enacting clean slate measures of their own. The bill is now moving through the Senate. This spring, Washington State also passed, with overwhelming bipartisan support, legislation putting it on a path to clean slate; however, the bill fell victim to a set of vetoes of any state priorities not considered directly related to COVID Meanwhile, Connecticut Gov.

Ned Lamont D introduced a clean slate proposal as part of his budget, and similar legislation has gained significant attention and traction in the state legislature over the past two years. Likewise, California enacted legislation to automatically clear certain records in October However, unlike Pennsylvania or Utah, the California measure is prospective in scope and will only apply to records of conviction or arrests made after January New Jersey also passed legislation last year that requires the state to implement an automated clean slate expungement system, pursuant to the recommendations of a governor-appointed task force that begins its work this year.

And several additional states, such as Louisiana and North Carolina , are advancing promising measures that would open the door to automatic record-clearing, such as through automatic expungement of nonconviction records.

As more states look to adopt automatic record-sealing measures, federal lawmakers are learning lessons from their state counterparts and working to bring record-clearing to the federal level. Unlike at the state level, there is—with very limited exceptions—no legal remedy or process for getting most federal records cleared.

The Clean Slate Act , introduced by Rep. If enacted, the measure would be the first of its kind at the federal level. The COVID pandemic and resulting unemployment crisis have elevated the need to pass clean slate legislation.
