A state senator said he plans to introduce a bill providing “modest” reforms for those convicted of misdemeanors or felonies to obtain occupational licenses.

State Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-Bucks, said he will present a bill to the Pennsylvania Senate that eliminates the automatic bar to obtaining a work license for those convicted of certain offenses and abolish the 10-year felony ban for those that apply for a license to operate a crane or practice massage therapy.
