BILL NUMBER:S7846
Title of bill
An act to amend the penal law, in relation to unauthorized release of personal data
Purpose
Relates to the unauthorized release of certain personal identifying information.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends the penal law by adding a new section 190.87, unau- thorized release of personal data.
Section two is the effective date.
Justification
Releasing personal identifying information to the public is a very seri- ous matter. Particularly with the advent of the Internet and other recent technological advances, it is easier than ever for copious amounts of people to view information quickly. Disseminating personal identifying information creates widespread opportunity for identity theft, a crime with devastating financial consequences that has been on the rise in recent years. The bill makes unauthorized release of personal identifying information a class E felony.
