An Act reducing barriers to employment through credit discrimination

This bill prohibits employers in Massachusetts from using consumer credit reports to screen job applicants or current employees. It also bans employers from asking candidates questions about their credit history or requiring them to waive their rights against such inquiries. The law includes specific exceptions for roles requiring national security clearance or when federal or state laws mandate the use of credit reports. Employers are further restricted from retaliating against individuals who file complaints or participate in investigations regarding credit discrimination.
