This bill amends existing Iowa law regarding the issuance of subpoenas and search warrants specifically related to menstrual health data. It establishes that no subpoena can be issued or served for the purpose of seeking menstrual health data, as defined in the bill. Additionally, it modifies the criteria under which search warrants can be issued, explicitly stating that no search warrant shall be issued for the search and seizure of menstrual health data stored on electronic devices.
The bill defines menstrual health data as any information that is created or received by an entity that pertains to an individual's menstrual health or status, whether past, present, or future. This legislative change aims to protect individuals' privacy concerning their menstrual health information from legal inquiries and potential misuse.
