The bill would prohibit consumer reporting agencies from making reports containing adverse information related to employees affected by a federal government shutdown. That bill passed the senate and the Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee.

Tully was the Deputy Majority Leader, and Swain was the chair of Appropriations.
