A 5126 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to implementing provisions to protect credit reports of certain consumers

This bill creates new protections for credit reports of minors under 16 and incapacitated adults with legal guardians. It requires credit reporting agencies to place a security freeze (a block on sharing credit information) upon request by a parent, guardian, or other authorized representative who provides proof of identity and legal authority. The freeze prevents agencies from releasing the consumer's credit report or derived information without explicit authorization. These protections remain in effect until the consumer or their representative requests removal with the required documentation.
