Landmark legislation sponsored by the California Association of REALTORS* giving consumers access to their credit scores goes into effect July 1. Under the provisions of SB 1607 (Figueroa) "Credit Score Disclosure Legislation," California now has the most consumer-friendly law involving credit disclosure in America, says C.A.R.
