A 5239 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Increases security on digital submissions to the state by requiring the use of verified accounts and multi-factor authorization

This bill requires all state agencies handling digital submissions (like forms or documents) to implement two security measures. First, users must create verified accounts using detailed personal information (name, address, date of birth, and two ID types like SSN or driver's license) and validate it. Second, users must use two-step verification (e.g., password + security code or biometrics) to access their accounts. These requirements apply to anyone submitting information online to state agencies, directly affecting residents and businesses using digital state services. The law takes effect one year after enactment, with agencies allowed to update rules immediately for implementation.
