S 7426 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the unlawful use of a New York driver's license or identification card

This bill regulates how businesses and other entities in New York State can scan and use an individual's driver's license or identification card. It prohibits scanning the machine-readable zone of these IDs unless for specific purposes, such as verifying identity for non-cash transactions, confirming age for restricted goods, or preventing fraud. The bill limits collected data to name, address, date of birth, and ID number, and generally prohibits retaining, selling, or sharing this information with third parties for marketing or other unrelated purposes. Exceptions allow data use for legally required transmissions or to specific entities like consumer reporting agencies, and violations can result in a civil penalty of up to $1,000.
