Bill overview
The Housing for Formerly Incarcerated Reentry and Stable Tenancy Act, or Housing FIRST Act, amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act to restrict the types of information that can be included in consumer reports used for tenant screening. Specifically, it prohibits including records of arrests, juvenile adjudications, certain court-related fees, and expunged convictions. The bill also establishes duties for housing providers who use these reports, requiring them to provide notice and specific reasons for adverse actions based on the reports, and clarifies time limits for information exclusion.
