What does the Expungement Proposal mean to your business?



Wisconsin workers with criminal records will now have a second chance thanks to a recent expungement proposal.  
Senate Bill 39, introduced by Senator Alberta Darling, and Assembly Bill 33, introduced by Representative David Steffen, would expand opportunities to expunge criminal records under certain conditions described in the proposal, including:
  • Remove the current requirement limiting eligibility for expungement to individuals under the age of 25.
  • Allow individuals to petition for expungement after completing their sentences rather than only at sentencing hearings.
  • Make the changes retroactive to apply to past convictions.

First of all, let me say this. I've always loved small business and having been in business myself for many years, I believe that there is nothing better. I encourage everyone to have some sort of business regardless if it only part time of a full fledged company employing many people.  I'm a membership rep for NFIB and am pleased to visit many business owners on a daily basis.

Everyone's "voice" is important and NFIB is the "voice of small business" in every state capital and in Washington D.C.  That...

  Location Celebration of Small Business What is it? Every week North Wisconsin Small Biz celebrates a northern Wisconsin location and up to 20 businesses (first come first serve basis) in that location. We present a post listing your business (with 19 others) which is linked to your business Facebook page.   Viewers are asked to click on your link, go to your page and “Like” it. This creates more traffic to your Facebook page where you can offer them ads and information. They are also asked to like the post, comment, tag one person and share. This exponentially increases traffic overall. Each week we’ll randomly choose a winner who will then personally visit your place of business (and the other 19) to collect their prize; something you’ll commit to giving to the winner priced from $10 to $20 retail. Many businesses offer gift certificates to make this easier.  Visit our Facebook Page, NORTH WIS SMALL BIZ here.  What do you do as a business? First, you’ll...
