Democrats Want Your Fingerprints Before You Can Get a Mortgage


This is pretty scary...
SEC. 104. STATE LICENSE AND REGISTRATION APPLICATION AND ISSUANCE.

(a) Background Checks- In connection with an application to any State for licensing and registration as a State-licensed loan originator, the applicant shall, at a minimum, furnish to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry information concerning the applicant's identity, including
(1) fingerprints for submission to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and any governmental agency or entity authorized to receive such information for a State and national criminal history background check; and

(2) personal history and experience, including authorization for the System to obtain—
(A) an independent credit report obtained from a consumer reporting agency described in section 603(p) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act; and

(B) information related to any administrative, civil or criminal findings by any governmental jurisdiction.
Emphasis added.

And when the President vetoes this and House Republicans uphold it again, you can expect Demcorats to run out another round of 527 attack ads and never mention this at all...
