Genomic Data Protection Act

Bill 119 s 863, also known as the Genomic Data Privacy Act, aims to give consumers the right to delete their genomic data. This bill is designed to protect the privacy and security of individuals' genetic information.

The bill outlines that individuals should have the ability to request the deletion of their genomic data from databases and other sources where it may be stored.

In addition to the right to delete genomic data, the bill also includes provisions for ensuring the security of genetic information and preventing unauthorized access or use of this data. This is crucial in order to protect individuals from potential misuse of their genetic information. Overall, the Genomic Data Privacy Act seeks to empower consumers and give them greater control over their genetic information. By providing individuals with the right to delete their genomic data and implementing measures to safeguard this information, this bill aims to protect the privacy and security of individuals' genetic data.
