Today was a meaningful day for This is Living Ministries.
Our Executive Director, Pastor Lindsay Holloway, was invited to the Tennessee State Capitol for the ceremonial signing of HB1551/SB1479, the driverโs license bill she advocated for earlier this year.
This new law requires the Department of Correction to coordinate with the Department of Safety to provide a driver license to certain individuals being discharged from imprisonment who intend to reside in Tennessee.
For women coming home from incarceration, a driverโs license is more than an ID. It can affect employment, housing, transportation, family reunification, and the ability to rebuild a stable life.
We are grateful to see this bill signed into law, and we are proud of Pastor Lindsayโs advocacy on behalf of women, families, and reentry across Tennessee.
Restoration requires practical pathways and today was an amazing step forward. Also, we can't say enough about how awesome it is to have a governor with such a heart for reentry.
