Bill > S06130

This bill amends the New York executive law to require the consumer protection division to establish a secure process for state agencies and third parties to verify the identities of New York residents through interagency agreements. The new process must include several key safeguards: users must provide auditable consent, no personal data or images can leave state systems, facial images must be converted to mathematical representations with robust protection, and any identity verification vendor must meet specific technical standards. Specifically, the selected vendor must undergo annual testing by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have ISO 30101 Level 2 Conformant Liveness (PAD Level 2) compliance, and be verified by a NIST-approved third party. The purpose of this process is to support fraud prevention, identity verification, and ensuring the integrity and security of individual identities. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
