The bill also requires employers to obtain written consent, disclose the reason for accessing the credit report, and ensure that the employee or applicant does not bear the costs associated with obtaining the report. Additionally, the bill prohibits retaliation against employees or applicants who dispute the accuracy of their credit report or allege violations of the law.
