AB 2527

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law, the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act, requires a person who takes an adverse action with respect to a consumer based, in whole or in part, on information contained in a consumer credit report, to, among other things, provide written notice of the adverse action to the consumer. This bill would, among other things, prohibit a person from using a consumer credit report for a purpose related to the hiring of a dwelling unit or requiring an applicant or tenant to answer a question about the contents of a consumer credit report or the information contained therein for a purpose related to the hiring of a dwelling unit, except if the person is required to do so under state or federal law, as prescribed. The bill would also make conforming changes.
