SB 5274: Background check reports

Applying the provisions of chapter 19.182 RCW, the fair credit reporting act, to background check reports.

Summary

The state fair credit reporting act is clarified and amended to reflect changes made to the federal fair credit reporting act. For example, records of a conviction may be disclosed, regardless of the date of the conviction, and the language excluding disclosure of salaries over $20,000 a year is eliminated.
