What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Fair Credit Reporting Reseller Accuracy Act," aims to amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It focuses on how resellers handle information found in consumer reports. Specifically, it requires these resellers to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the information they transmit is as accurate as possible. This requirement applies before a reseller sends information to an end user or another reseller. The bill also includes a limitation of liability for resellers who accurately communicate information they received from another consumer reporting agency.
