This bill regulates the use of credit reports by employers. It prohibits employers from using, requesting, or requiring employees or applicants to disclose the contents of their credit reports, with some exceptions. These exceptions include positions that require national security clearance, executive or managerial roles at certain financial institutions, or positions with significant financial responsibility. The bill also requires employers to obtain written consent from employees or applicants before accessing their credit reports, disclose the reason for doing so, and provide the opportunity to dispute the information. Employers are also prohibited from retaliating against employees or applicants who exercise their rights under this law.
