Against Report Date 9/5/2003 Comments We oppose AB353 as it is an unnecessary provision for employers (WI already allows for discrimination on the basis of "substantially related" job functions) and it will mainly serve to increase recidivism and increase unemployment.

Against Report Date 10/14/2003 Comments This legislation allows discrimination against unpardoned felons. We believe employment is critical to rehabilitiation although exceptions may apply if circumstances of the conviction relate to circumstances of the job.
