(a) In general. A consumer reporting agency which furnishes a consumer report
for employment purposes and which for that purpose compiles and reports items of
information on consumers which are matters of public record and are likely to
have an adverse effect upon a consumer's ability to obtain employment shall
(1) at the time such public record information is reported to the user of such
consumer report, notify the consumer of the fact that public record information
is being reported by the consumer reporting agency, together with the name and
address of the person to whom such information is being reported; or
(2) maintain strict procedures designed to insure that whenever public record
information which is likely to have an adverse effect on a consumer's ability to
obtain employment is reported it is complete and up to date. For purposes of
this paragraph, items of public record relating to arrests, indictments,
convictions, suits, tax liens, and outstanding judgments shall be considered up
to date if the current public record status of the item at the time of the
report is reported.
(b) Exemption for national security investigations. Subsection (a) does not
apply in the case of an agency or department of the United States Government
that seeks to obtain and use a consumer report for employment purposes, if the
