Concerning the screening of a prospective residential tenant by a landlord.
Bill Summary:
The act amends the definition of a "portable tenant screening report" (screening report) to specify that a prospective tenant using a housing subsidy is not required to include a credit history report, a credit score, or an adverse credit event with the tenant's screening report.
The act also repeals language allowing a landlord to require a tenant to make a screening report directly available to the landlord through a consumer reporting agency or third-party website.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
