In this episode of FCRA Focus, hosts Kim Phan (https://www.troutman.com/professional...) and Dave Gettings (https://www.troutman.com/professional...) are joined by colleague Tim St. George (https://www.troutman.com/professional...) to unpack major legislative developments impacting employment background screening. They discuss New York's new statewide ban on the use of consumer credit history in most hiring and employment decisions, Virginia's upcoming requirements for background screening businesses, and emerging federal proposals that could reshape FCRA liability, reseller obligations, and the reporting of criminal and credit information. The conversation highlights notable litigation trends, preemption and First Amendment issues, and practical steps for employers, CRAs, and resellers navigating rapidly evolving state and federal requirements.
