Some states have their own background report disclosure laws. Our virtual road trip throughout the United States has introduced us to many states that require specific disclosures, beyond FCRA disclosures, before screening applicants or employees when using a consumer reporting agency like Verified Credentials. Our stops have outlined disclosure requirements in California, Minnesota, New York, and more.
This month’s stop is in the Sooner State. A “consumer report” (background report) under Oklahoma law has the same meaning as under the FCRA.

Employers should take note if their applicant or employee “checks the box” to get a copy of their background report. If the box is checked, the employer must ask its background screener to provide a copy of the background report to the applicant or employee when it asks its background screener for its copy of the background report. The background report sent to the applicant or employee is always provided free of charge.
