- Title
- Genetic Testing Companies, requiring consent to release customers' genetic data
- Description
Existing law provides no privacy protection to consumers who submit biological samples for testing to genetic testing companies.
This bill would require genetic testing companies to obtain express consent from consumers in order to retain, use, and share consumers' genetic information with other entities.
This bill would also create a civil penalty for use and disclosure by testing companies of consumer genetic information without consent and provide for enforcement by the Office of the Attorney General.
