Equal Employment for All Act of 2025

This bill would change the Fair Credit Reporting Act so that employers generally may not use credit reports or credit information about job applicants or current workers to make hiring or other employment decisions. The ban would apply even if the worker agrees to the credit check. Employers could still use credit reports for jobs that require a national security clearance or when another law requires it, and only if the worker authorizes it. Credit reporting agencies could not give credit information to employers for employment decisions except in those cases, and employers could not deny a job because a person refuses to authorize a credit check.
