Another Bill Would Prohibit Employers from Credit Screening Potential Hires

Download PDFPrintShare

On March 15, 2012, a bill (A2840) was proposed for introduction that would prohibit employers from obtaining, requiring as a condition of hire, or discriminating against potential employees on the basis of credit reports. As of press time, the text of this bill was not yet available, but it is likely similar to several prior credit history bills that are either pending or failed to pass in the New Jersey legislature.
