The FCRA regulates all consumer reports, not just credit reports. Additionally, the laws differ from state to state about what can be included in a background report, as well as how that information can be used in the screening process. It’s important to consult with your attorney, or hire a screening company with experience in your state, before you begin checking applicants’ backgrounds.
