On May 31, 2012, the Senate approved a bill (S455) that would
prohibit employers from seeking credit checks on employees or
applicants under most circumstances. A detailed discussion of that
bill appeared in the
February 2012 issue of the New Jersey eAuthority. The bill now
heads to the Assembly for its consideration, where the bill already
has several supporters. A parallel bill (A2840) was introduced by
the Assembly on May 11, 2012, and a similar bill (A704) was
introduced in December of last year.
