Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to certain interagency agreements with the consumer protection division
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York executive law to require the consumer protection division to establish a secure process for state agencies or 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 for secure comparison, and any vendor providing the identity verification solution must undergo annual testing by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and maintain ISO 30101 Level 2 Conformant Liveness (PAD Level 2) compliance, which must be verified by a NIST-approved third party. The primary goal of this provision is to enhance fraud prevention, ensure identity verification integrity, and improve the security of individual identities while maintaining strict privacy protections. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
