     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Equal Employment for All Act of 2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill prohibits a consumer reporting agency from furnishing an employer with a consumer credit report containing information on the consumer's creditworthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity if the employer intends to use that information for any decision made for employment purposes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;An employer may use such a report in either an employment decision or before taking an adverse employment action with the consumer's authorization under certain circumstances. Specifically, a report may be used if the consumer applies for or holds employment that requires eligibility for access to classified information or such use is otherwise required by law.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;An employer who has sought such a report may neither deny employment to nor make any other employment decision about a consumer because the consumer has not authorized the employer's procurement of the report.&lt;/p&gt;
