The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), as amended by section 407, is further amended— by adding at the end the following new section: Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this section, the Bureau shall issue final regulations applicable to a person that creates, maintains, or purchases credit scoring models used in making credit decisions to establish standards for validating the accuracy and predictive value of all such credit scoring models, both before release for initial use and at regular intervals thereafter, for as long as such credit scoring models are made available for purchase or use by such person.
At least once every 2 years, the Bureau shall conduct a review of credit scoring models to determine whether the use of any particular factors, or the weight or consideration given to certain factors by credit scoring models, is inappropriate, including if such factors do not enhance or contribute to the accuracy and predictive value of the models. Upon the conclusion of its review, the Bureau may prohibit a person described in subsection
(a)from weighing, considering, or including certain factors in, or making available for purchase or use, certain credit scoring models or versions, as the Bureau determines appropriate. The Bureau is authorized to enforce compliance with this section by a person described in subsection (a). ; and in the table of contents for such Act, by inserting after the item relating to section 630 (as added by section 407) the following new item: 631.
