Restoring Unfairly Impaired Credit and Protecting Consumers Act

The bill prohibits medical debt from inclusion on a consumer credit report. In addition, it prohibits adverse credit information related to (1) unfair or fraudulent mortgage loans, (2) unfair or fraudulent private education loans, and (3) debt that is the result of financial abuse.

Further, the bill reduces the time period certain adverse information is allowed to be included on a consumer credit report. This includes bankruptcy cases, tax liens that have been paid, accounts in collection, certain civil suits and judgements, criminal convictions, certain rehabilitated mortgage and private educational debt, and fully paid or settled debt.

The bill expands free credit monitoring to include victims of fraud, data breaches, and identity theft; unemployed consumers; recipients of public welfare assistance; individuals 65 or older; and other classes as established by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Consumers must directly request free credit monitoring from the reporting agency and provide proof of identity. The CFPB must establish a fair and reasonable fee for credit reporting services for other consumers.

The bill also establishes procedures for victims of financial abuse to provide documentation to consumer reporting agencies for removal of related adverse information. 

The CFPB must create a standardized affidavit for consumers to report identity theft, fraud, or the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.

Feeding Rural Families Act of 2023

This bill provides for separate food cost calculations for urban and rural parts of Hawaii for the purposes of determining Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) maximum monthly benefit allotments. Specifically, the bill requires separate food cost adjustments in the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP) for urban and rural parts of Hawaii.

SNAP maximum monthly benefit allotments are tied to the cost of purchasing a nutritionally adequate low-cost diet, as measured by the Department of Agriculture-created and -calculated TFP. Maximum allotments are set at the monthly cost of the TFP for a four-person family, adjusted for family size. Under current law, maximum allotments are higher (to reflect the cost of food) in Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as in urban and rural parts of Alaska.
