Bill > H2019

This bill aims to further regulate the use of credit reports by employers. It amends the state's general laws to prohibit employers from using or requesting a consumer credit report for employment purposes, except in limited circumstances such as when required by law or for positions that require national security clearance. The bill also requires employers to obtain written consent from employees or applicants before accessing their credit reports, disclose their reasons for accessing the reports, and provide employees the opportunity to dispute any adverse information before making a final decision. Additionally, the bill prohibits employers from retaliating against employees or applicants who exercise their rights under this law.
