Summary

This bill allows creditors to consider an applicant’s immigration status for certain purposes when assessing an application for an extension of credit. In particular, considering an applicant’s U.S. immigration status for the purpose of determining the creditor's rights and remedies applicable to the particular extension of credit does not constitute discrimination.
