Bill > H4028

This bill regulates the use of credit reports by employers. It prohibits employers from using or requesting a consumer credit report for employment purposes, with some exceptions. The exceptions include positions required by federal or state law, executive or managerial roles at financial institutions, positions requiring national security clearance, law enforcement or financial industry roles, and positions with significant financial responsibility over large sums of money. Employers who are allowed to use credit reports must obtain written consent from the employee or applicant, disclose the reason for accessing the report, and ensure the costs are not passed on to the employee or applicant. The bill also prohibits retaliation against employees or applicants who dispute the accuracy of a credit report or allege a violation of this law.
