New Jersey Fair Credit Reporting Act

NJ FCRA
active

New Jersey's credit reporting law mirrors and supplements the federal FCRA: consumer reporting agencies may furnish reports only for listed permissible purposes, and employers must give a standalone written disclosure and get written authorization before obtaining a report. Medical information may not be furnished for employment, credit, insurance, or direct marketing without written consent, and consumers can sue for willful or negligent violations.
