This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section that specifically addresses the confidentiality of personal identifying information for emergency medical care technicians (EMCTs). Under the new provisions, the Department of Health Services (DHS) would be prohibited from selling or disclosing any personal identifying information of an EMCT without their consent. Additionally, it establishes that such information is confidential and exempt from public records laws when requested for commercial purposes. The bill also allows DHS to disclose de-identified or aggregated information that does not reasonably allow for the identification of an EMCT.

Furthermore, the bill defines "personal identifying information" to include various types of sensitive data, such as social security numbers, personal addresses, biometric records, and other information that could be used to identify an EMCT. This definition aims to enhance the protection of EMCTs' personal information and ensure that their privacy is maintained in compliance with the new regulations. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen the confidentiality of EMCTs' personal data while allowing for certain disclosures with consent.
