I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called Governor Quinns office yesterday and said that there is a bill sitting on his desk that would disallow businesses to check the credit for pre-employment individuals... House Bill 4658... Bill may ban pre-employment credit checks and its been sitting there for many weeks. I then stated that it would be VERY beneficial to the people of Illinois plus very popular too. I urged him to sign it. (might have even said 'please' )
Guess what I heard on the radio today :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Quinn signs bill limiting employment credit checks | abc7chicago.com
August 10, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- People with bad credit will have one less thing to worry about when they're looking for a new job.
Gov. Pat Quinn signed a new law Tuesday that prohibits employers from using a person's credit history when it comes to getting a job.
However, one of the bill's sponsors says there are exceptions to the new law, including people who work in banking and insurance because they have access to confidential financial information. There are other exceptions as well.
Quinn says the bill aims to prevent employers from discriminating against would-be workers because they have bad credit in a tough economy.
Supporters of the bill say the unemployed are trapped in a cycle where they can't pay their bills without a job but can't get a job because they have bad credit.
