New Jersey § 56:11-32

§ 56:11-32.

a. Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to

limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 4 of

this act. These procedures shall require that prospective users of the information identify

themselves, certify each purpose for which the information is sought, and certify

that the information will be used for no other purpose. Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity

of a new prospective user and each use certified by the prospective user prior to

furnishing the user a consumer report. No consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person if it has

reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose

listed in section 4 of this act. b. Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow

reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning

the individual about whom the report relates. c. A consumer reporting agency may not prohibit the user of a consumer report furnished

by the agency from disclosing the contents of the report to the consumer, if adverse

action against the consumer has been taken by the user based in whole or in part on

the report. d. A person may not procure a consumer report for the purpose of reselling the report

unless the person discloses to the consumer reporting agency that originally furnishes

the report: (1) the identity of the end-user of the report; and (2) each permissible purpose under section 4 of this act for which the report is furnished

to the end-user of the report. e. A person who procures a consumer report for the purposes of reselling the report

shall: (1) establish and comply with reasonable procedures designed to ensure that the report

is resold by the person only for a purpose for which the report may be furnished under

section 4 of this act, including procedures designed to ensure that each person to

which the report is resold and that resells or provides the report to any other person: (a) identifies to the person from whom the report was purchased each end-user of the

resold report; (b) certifies to the person from whom the report was purchased each purpose for which

the report will be used; and (c) certifies to the person from whom the report was purchased that the report will

be used for no other purpose; and (2) before reselling the report, make reasonable efforts to verify the identifications

and certifications made under paragraph (1) of this subsection. f. For the purposes of subsections d. and e. of this section, “report” means the consumer

report as furnished by a consumer reporting agency or any information contained in

that consumer report.
