Equal Employment for All Act of 2025

This bill would change the Fair Credit Reporting Act to bar employers and others from using credit reports, or reports with information about a person's creditworthiness, to make hiring or other employment decisions. The ban would apply even if the worker or job applicant agrees to the credit check. Credit reporting agencies could not provide such reports to employers for employment decisions. Exceptions would apply for jobs that require a national security clearance or access to classified information, and when another law requires a credit check. Employers could not deny a job or take other employment action because a person refused to authorize a credit check.
