FCRA Vote Scheduled
Washington
The House Financial Services Committee was scheduled at press time to vote on legislation reauthorizing the Fair Credit Reporting Act, although there was no indication whether the committee would address a provision opposed by the insurance industry.
The controversial provision would mandate a Federal Trade Commission study on the impact of insurance company use of credit reports on the availability of consumer credit.
At press time, industry sources said there did not appear to be any amendments pending that would either eliminate or modify the provision. However, they noted, it is possible that an amendment could be offered during the committees session.
