A 9377 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Amends the constitution by adding a right to privacy

This bill proposes adding a constitutional right to privacy for all residents, stating that "the right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed." It would require courts to consider the nature and extent of information obtained and the intrusion when evaluating privacy claims. The amendment must be submitted to voters for ratification after the next general election, as specified in the bill's referral process. This change would directly affect all state residents by establishing a new constitutional standard for privacy protections.
