The sponsor's argument

Why Jeremy Cooney says this is needed

This bill seeks to allow all New York state agencies and third parties, under an interagency agreement, to utilize the personal identification systems in place for verifying identities. The bill aims to create a more streamlined, secure, and effective framework for managing personal identification information across various state services and platforms, ultimately benefiting the public through improved services and enhanced security measures. This measure is specifically targeted to: Expedite Eligibility Determi- nation for Public Assistance: Enhancing the verification process for individuals applying for public assistance programs, thereby speeding up the eligibility determination. Boost Fraud Investigations: Providing a more robust and interconnected system to detect and investigate fraud across various state-administered programs. Increase Security Across Platforms: Strengthening the overall security of personal identification information managed by the state, ensuring more secure interactions and transactions for the public.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
