Section 359-B:4-a Election to be Excluded From Certain Lists.
I. A consumer may elect to have information about such consumer excluded from any transaction not initiated by the consumer under RSA 359-B:4, II, including any list provided by a consumer reporting agency through pre-screening or direct solicitation transactions that are not initiated by the consumer, by notifying the consumer reporting agency by telephone or in writing.
II. An election by a consumer under paragraph I of this section shall be effective with respect to a consumer reporting agency and any affiliate of the agency within 5 business days after the agency is notified.
III. Each consumer reporting agency shall establish and maintain a notification system, including a toll-free telephone number, which permits any consumer, with appropriate identification and for whom the agency has a file, to notify the agency of the consumer's election under paragraph I. A consumer reporting agency that maintains consumer reports on a nationwide basis shall establish such a notification system on a nation-wide basis and may operate such a system jointly with any other consumer reporting agencies. Compliance with the requirements of this section by any consumer reporting agency shall constitute compliance by the agency's affiliates.

Any person who uses a consumer report in connection with any transaction not initiated by the consumer under RSA 359-B:4, II shall provide the consumer with a statement displayed in a conspicuous and readable format and type that offers a reasonable procedure for the removal of a consumer's name from marketing lists derived from consumer report information by calling an 800 number or writing to an address provided in said statement.
