S 2376 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Adds medical and health insurance information within the definitions of identity theft

This bill expands the legal definition of identity theft to include medical and health insurance information, directly affecting individuals whose personal health data is stolen or misused. Under the new provisions, stealing details such as medical history, diagnosis records, or health insurance policy numbers would count as identity theft, regardless of whether money or physical goods are obtained. The legislation updates several state laws to ensure that these specific types of sensitive health data are treated with the same legal weight as other personal identifying information in criminal cases.
