§ 24-148. Request of consumer report – Notice to subject of report

A. Prior to requesting a consumer report for employment

purposes, the requestor or user of the consumer report shall provide

written notice to the person who is the subject of the consumer

report. The notice shall inform the consumer that a consumer report

will be used and the notice shall contain a box that the consumer

may check to receive a copy of the consumer report. If the consumer

requests a copy of the report, the user of the consumer report shall

request that a copy be provided to the consumer when the user of the

consumer report requests its copy from the credit reporting agency.

The report sent to the consumer shall be provided at no charge to

the consumer. As used in this section, “consumer report” shall have

the same meaning as that term is defined in the federal Fair Credit

Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C., Sections 1681 et seq.

B. No person shall be held liable for any violation of this

section if such person shows by a preponderance of the evidence

that, at the time of the alleged violation, such person maintained

reasonable procedures to assure compliance with this section.
