Bans the sale of employment data reports without written consumer consent.

This bill amends the general business law to prohibit consumer reporting agencies from selling or redistributing employment data reports without written consumer consent. These reports include payroll and earnings information, hours worked, consumer history, and health insurance information. The consent must be provided in a separate, stand-alone document and be specific to the particular use or transaction. The bill also allows for legal action by injured parties and authorizes the attorney general to seek injunctions and civil penalties for violations.
