Equal Employment for All Act of 2023
This bill prohibits most employers from using credit history reports when making hiring decisions or taking adverse employment actions (like denying a job). It directly affects job applicants and current employees by preventing employers from considering their credit scores for these purposes. The law includes narrow exceptions for positions requiring national security clearances or when required by other laws. Employers cannot deny employment or take negative employment actions simply because an applicant refuses to authorize a credit check. The bill amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act to implement these changes.
