Calif. Health Dept. Opposes Bill to Help Formerly Incarcerated People Access Jobs

The state health department recently sent a letter to Mitchell stating its opposition to SB 1384, arguing that the bill would limit the government's ability to protect patients. This stance is a blow to advocates fighting to end policies that discriminate against formerly incarcerated people and unfairly punish them for past actions for which they've already served time.
