Enhanced Oversight and Transparency for Credit Scoring Models
This bill aims to increase federal oversight of how credit scoring models are developed and used. It seeks to help citizens better understand how their credit history impacts access to loans and other financial products, and to protect them from unfair practices. It also mandates a study on the impact of non-traditional data on credit scores, potentially opening up credit access for individuals with limited credit history.
