The American Civil Liberties Union says dozens of people who served time in prison as well as crime victims hand delivered letters to the governor Tuesday.
The move marks a final push to get the bill to become law. The governor has until Friday to sign bills approved by the Legislature in their 60-day session that ended last month.
The record expungement legislation was among a slate of measures aimed at improving ex-convicts’ chances at obtaining employment, treatment and other services.
Sponsors argue the bills would make people who are restarting their lives after prison more productive members of society.
