Office of the Press Secretary

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 27, 2016

*Statement by the President*

I applaud Georgia, and Governor Nathan Deal, for demonstrating that making our criminal justice system more fair is a bipartisan idea. Georgias latest reform bill touches on school discipline, correctional education for youth, the accuracy of criminal records, fees and fines, and occupational licensing. From the community to the cell block to the courtroom, this bill will both enhance justice and promote safety, serving as an example for the nation. I hope Georgias progress will encourage Congress to send me a significant criminal justice bill soon.
