Blue Shield Privacy Act of 2025

This bill expands what counts as someone’s personal information under federal criminal law. It adds more types of data to the protected list, such as a person’s license plate number, biometric information, workplace address, school address, and GPS coordinates, alongside things like a home fax number already covered. The idea is to make it clearer that sharing these details is treated the same as sharing other sensitive contact information under existing law.

Key points

• What changes: Adds license plate numbers, biometric info, workplace and school addresses, and GPS coordinates to the definition of protected personal information.
• Who is affected: Anyone covered by the federal law that defines protected personal information, and people who might share that information about them.
• Why it matters: It aims to better guard people’s privacy and safety by clearly covering more modern types of identifying details.
