HB 1544 - DIGEST

Provides that an employer who discloses information about a former or current employee's job performance to a prospective financial institution employer, at the specific request of that individual employer, is presumed to be acting in good faith and is immune from civil liability for such a disclosure or its consequences.

Declares that, for purposes of this act, the presumption of good faith may only be rebutted upon a showing by clear and convincing evidence that the information disclosed by the employer was knowingly false or deliberately misleading.
