The Nolan Center Partners with FSU to Study the Benefits of Clean Slate in Florida

The Nolan Center for Justice recently teamed up with the Masters in Applied Economics Program at Florida State University. Graduate students conducted a cost benefit analysis of a clean slate law in Florida. Students found that the State of Florida stands to gain up to $95 million by implementing Clean Slate. Aside from the benefits to taxpayers, the Nolan Center believes that Clean Slate laws provide the opportunity for people to move on past a mistake and become productive members of their community.

The Clean Slate team won the Best Applied Research at the annual symposium.
