Bill > S01208

This bill amends the civil rights law to require that genetic testing results only be received by patients and healthcare providers providing direct care, while health insurance companies can only receive a record that the genetic testing was performed for payment purposes. The bill prohibits health insurers and life insurers from requiring access to genetic test records, findings, or results, or from basing their policies on such information. Additionally, insurers cannot take adverse action against a policyholder or potential policyholder for not providing access to genetic test records, findings, or results.
