An Act relative to promoting fair hiring practices by limiting the use of credit reports in employment decisions
House: Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on House Ways and Means
Summary
The bill makes it illegal for employers to consider a person's credit history when hiring, firing, promoting, demoting, or setting pay, except for certain financial or security‑sensitive roles. Employers who are allowed to use credit reports must inform the applicant, provide the report and a rights notice, and give a chance to dispute errors. The state’s labor commission will handle complaints, run an awareness campaign, and issue annual reports on compliance.
