This is a summary of federal and state reportability scope. FCRA reporting is standard unless state exceptions differs from Federal. This information is based upon industry accepted practices which balance CRA legal reportability with employer usage of information. CRAs must comply with applicable reporting limitations based on where the address of residence of the data subject. Employers must adhere to various ban the box limitations, fair chance in hiring, etc. usually based on where the applicant resides or where the position is located. Employers should consult with legal counsel regarding its use of CRA reported information.
This summary is not 100% comprehensive and is intended to provide a brief snapshot of reportability. Reportability of Federal and state limitations may overlap and contradict. In these situations, the FCRA reportability is the default – unless the state enacted legislation prior to the FCRA.
