New Law Would Crack Down on COVID-19 Test Fraud, Already Seen in Brooklyn

State Senator Zellnor Myrie introduced the COVID-19 Fraud Accountability Act, saying that as demand for PCR and at-home rapid COVID tests has reached an all-time high, “bad actors” had started to exploit the surge “to seek ill-gotten profit from New Yorkers.”

“My bill would dramatically increase the cost of doing business for these white-collar fraudsters and scammers,” Sen. Myrie said.
