Bill > HB06060

This bill proposes comprehensive reforms to health data management by establishing several key provisions: First, it would recognize patients as the primary owners of their personal health data, granting them rights to access, control, and transfer their information. The bill mandates transparency from all entities collecting and storing health data and establishes consent standards for health technologies, including artificial intelligence-enabled tools. It introduces standardized digital consent processes to ensure patients fully understand how their data will be used, shared, and retained, and provides mechanisms for patients to revoke consent through clear opt-in and opt-out options. Additionally, the bill would create an ethics review board to evaluate predictive algorithms used by health technology companies, healthcare providers, and research institutions, ensuring these algorithms are applied fairly and without bias. Lastly, the bill requires ongoing security audits and mandates that findings be disclosed to an oversight body to maintain health data integrity. These provisions aim to enhance patient autonomy, protect personal health information, and promote ethical use of health technologies.
