BILL NUMBER:S3142 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil rights law, in relation to limiting the scope of information disclosed in a published notice of change of name PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to provide greater protection from identity theft to New Yorkers who legally change their name. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 63 of the Civil Rights Law to require only the publication of the petitioner's month and year of the date of birth and the city and state of the petitioner's present address. Section 2 establishes the effective date. EXISTING LAW: Current law requires the newspaper publication of the full date of birth and home address a petitioner. JUSTIFICATION: The current procedure for obtaining a name change, which requires the publication of the petitioner's full date of birth and actual home address, creates undue risks of identity theft on the part of the petitioner. This publication requirement forces the petitioners for a name change to reveal more information to the public than is necessary to apprise any interested persons of the name change. Under
