Bill > SB00146

This bill proposes to amend existing state statutes to prohibit businesses that collect consumers' genetic information from selling that information to third parties. Genetic information refers to an individual's unique DNA or genetic data, which can reveal sensitive details about a person's health, ancestry, and potential genetic predispositions. The legislation aims to protect consumers' privacy by preventing companies that gather genetic data (such as through direct-to-consumer genetic testing services) from monetizing this highly personal information by selling it to other businesses or organizations without the consumer's explicit consent. By restricting the sale of genetic data, the bill seeks to provide additional safeguards for individuals' genetic privacy and prevent potential misuse of sensitive genetic information by third parties.
