2. The provisions of this section shall be in addition to the provisions of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et. seq., as amended, and, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681t(a), as amended, the provisions of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, or any other applicable federal law, shall control to the extent of any inconsistency between this section and the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

merchandising practice in violation of sections 407.010 to 407.145.
