SENATE, No. 2330

with Senate Floor Amendments

(Proposed by Senator POU)

ADOPTED: MAY 14, 2020

      These Senate amendments remove a provision of the bill that provides that an affected person may contact and request that the user of a consumer report disregard any adverse information related to the person in a consumer report with respect to the covered coronavirus period.  The amendments provide that only an affected person who has an alert included in the person’s consumer report pursuant to the bill may contact a user of a consumer report and request that the user disregard that adverse information.

      The amendments also exempt licensed health care facilities that are the primary residence of an individual from the provisions of the bill concerning medical debt collection.
