The law requires that a consumer report, like a credit report or a background check, can only be provided if the report's requestor, like a creditor, landlord, or employer, certifies that it has a permissible purpose to obtain a report on a specific person.
subjected to serious, outrageous breaches of privacy when companies sharing the report for one person include information pertaining to someone else.
consumer watchdog—took action to protect Americans' privacy and crack down by issuing new guidance on the rules that surround crucial credit report privacy.
The advisory opinion did something that ought to be common sense: It made it clear that your sensitive financial information couldn't be shared with landlords, loan sharks, or used car salesmen just because you had a similar name to somebody else.
shady data brokers can easily use your personal information, and then they go rip you off.
This was a huge win for consumer privacy, and Donald Trump gutted it.
I will close with this: My resolution is simple. It would restore this advisory opinion that Trump withdrew as part of this administration's ongoing war against consumers and privacy.

I yield the floor.
