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

This bill restricts businesses in New York from scanning the machine-readable zone of state driver's licenses or ID cards unless specific exceptions apply, such as verifying identity for non-cash transactions, checking age for restricted goods, or preventing fraud. Under the new rules, companies can only collect and keep the name, address, date of birth, and license number from these scans, and they are strictly prohibited from selling or sharing this data for marketing or promotional purposes. The legislation applies to private businesses and organizations but excludes the state and its political subdivisions, with violations punishable by a civil penalty of up to $1,000.
