REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION

Overview

Bill number: A 8209

Title: Relates to third-party identity verification service reporting

Sponsor: Noah Burroughs (primary)

Introduced: May 5, 2025

Status: REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION

Legislative actions: On 2025-05-05, the bill was referred to the Transportation committee (listed twice in the record)

Purpose and scope (as indicated by the title)

The bill appears to establish reporting requirements related to third-party identity verification services. While the full text is not provided here, the title suggests the bill would set rules for how such services must report information to a state transportation department or an equivalent agency, potentially governing data elements, reporting timelines, and compliance standards within transportation-related contexts.

What the bill would potentially do

Note: The specific provisions are not included in the provided material. Based on the title, the bill could be expected to address:
- Definitions of “third-party identity verification service” and related terms
- Scope of reporting (which programs, transactions, or applications within transportation are covered)
- Data elements to be reported (e.g., verification outcomes, identity attributes, timestamps)
- Reporting frequency and submission format
- Responsibilities of the third-party verifiers and any covered agencies
- Compliance, penalties for noncompliance, and enforcement mechanisms
- Privacy protections, data security requirements, and data-sharing limitations
- Effective date and any sunset or renewal provisions
- Possible exemptions or carve-outs

Who would be affected

Third-party identity verification providers: entities that perform identity verification in the transportation sector; they would be subject to reporting requirements and associated compliance obligations.

State transportation or related agencies: would receive and manage reports, engage in oversight, and enforce the provisions.

Individuals whose identities or verification data are handled in transportation-related processes, insofar as reporting and data handling impact their information (subject to privacy protections in the bill).

Procedural and timeline aspects

The bill is currently in the Transportation committee, per its referral date of May 5, 2025.

Typical next steps (not specified in the current text): committee consideration and vote, potential floor consideration in the assembly, possible amendments, and, if approved, passage to the senate (depending on the jurisdiction’s process), followed by signature or veto by the governor.

Effective date and any phase-in period would be defined in the bill text.
