AI Summary
This bill, the Debt Bondage Repair Act, prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including any adverse information in a consumer's credit report if the consumer is a victim of human trafficking. The bill requires the Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection to issue a rule establishing a process for consumers to submit documentation proving they are victims of trafficking, after which the consumer reporting agencies must remove any related adverse information from the consumer's credit report. The bill defines "trafficking documentation" and "victim of trafficking" based on determinations by federal or state governments or courts. The amendments made by this bill will take effect 30 days after the Director issues the required rule.
