A 920 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Adds medical and health insurance information within the definitions of personal identifying information; repealer

This bill amends New York's penal law and related statutes to explicitly include "medical information" and "health insurance information" in the legal definition of "personal identifying information." It defines medical information as details about an individual's medical history or treatment, and health insurance information as policy numbers, subscriber IDs, or claims history. These changes mean that identity theft involving such sensitive health data will now be covered under existing identity theft laws, which previously did not explicitly include these categories. The bill also removes outdated definitions from related laws to streamline the updated framework.
