The proposed bill, SB 163, seeks to amend the Genetic Information Privacy Act by expanding its scope to include neurotechnology data, thereby enhancing privacy protections for sensitive personal information. It introduces new definitions, such as "familial DNA search" and "lineage testing," while clarifying terms like "partial matching" in DNA searches. The bill emphasizes the importance of privacy as a fundamental right, particularly in the context of technological advancements that have increased the sensitivity of personal data. It also highlights the involuntary nature of disclosing neurotechnology data, raising significant privacy concerns.

To strengthen privacy rights, the bill outlines specific requirements for the collection, use, and disclosure of both genetic and neurotechnology data. It mandates that entities provide clear privacy notices, obtain express consent from consumers, and implement robust security measures. Furthermore, it stipulates that governmental agencies must adhere to legal processes, such as obtaining a search warrant or investigative subpoena, when collecting such data. Overall, the legislation aims to create a comprehensive framework for protecting individuals' privacy regarding their genetic and neurotechnology data, reflecting the need for updated legal protections in light of evolving technology.
