In order to set a standard for hiring policies, the federal government created the Fair Credit Reporting Act, or FCRA, which monitors and protects both employers and job candidates.
State Laws
Conn. Gen. Stat.31-51i(h)(2)
Our Take: At the time a consumer reporting agency issues to an employer a consumer report containing criminal record information, it must provide written notice and a copy of the report to the consumer.
Public Act No. 11-223
Our Take: Credit Reports are prohibited in employment decisions unless: employer is a financial institution; employer reasonably believes employee is engaged in activity that is a violation of law; or report is substantially related to the job.
