credit score, employers, Connecticut sSB 361 passes Senate

The Connecticut Senate passed sSB 361.

The title says it all:  “AN ACT PREVENTING THE USE OF CREDIT SCORES BY CERTAIN EMPLOYERS IN HIRING DECISIONS.”

One headline reads, “Senate passes bill that prohibits employers from asking new hires about their credit score.”
