Protects people's genetic information from being sold without consent during bankruptcy.
This bill would protect your genetic information if a company holding it goes through bankruptcy. It would make sure your genetic data cannot be sold or used without your written permission. Any genetic information not sold would also have to be deleted, giving individuals more control over their sensitive data.
Today, genetic information is not specifically protected in bankruptcy cases, meaning it can be sold or used without explicit consent. If this bill becomes law, genetic information would be clearly defined as sensitive personal data. Companies in bankruptcy would need your written permission to sell or use your genetic data, and any unused data would have to be deleted.
