More Details Regarding The Bill’s Passing

According to NBC10 Philadelphia, the state’s governor, Josh Shapiro, signed the Pennsylvania Probation Reform Bill #SB838 on Thursday, December 14. The outlet reports that the bill will keep more criminal records of the state’s “sealed from public view.”

Additionally, the legislation aims to “limit the length of probation” and prevent people from being sent back to jail after minor probation violations.

NBC10 Philadelphia reports that Pennsylvania is the “state with one of the highest rates of residents who are incarcerated or under supervision.”

The outlet notes that the bill was passed in the House and Senate with “large majorities” on Wednesday, December 13. That evening, rapper Meek Mill took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his excitement for the bill’s passing.

Meek Mill has advocated for criminal justice reform since he received a two-to-four-year prison sentence in 2017. According to CBS News, at the time, the rapper reportedly violated the terms of his probation from a 2008 gun and drug case by engaging in a physical altercation and popping wheelies on a dirt bike.

According to the New York Post, the rapper spent several months in prison before his conviction was overturned in 2019.

In January, Tom Wolf, the former governor of Pennsylvania even pardoned Meek Mill’s original gun and drug charges. According to the outlet, the rapper caught the charges when he was 18 years old.
