Bill Summary

A bill to amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to clarify the ability to request consumer reports in certain cases to establish and enforce child support payments and awards.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Child Support Assistance Act of 2015, amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to clarify when state or local child support enforcement agencies can request consumer reports, which are documents containing information about an individual's credit history. Specifically, it expands the FCRA's provisions to explicitly allow these agencies to obtain consumer reports not only for establishing child support payments but also for enforcing existing child support orders, agreements, or judgments. The bill also updates terminology by replacing "paternity" with "parentage" and makes conforming changes to the structure of the relevant section of the FCRA.
