This bill aims to enhance privacy protections for individuals using mental health digital services by establishing confidentiality standards and remedies for noncompliance. It introduces a new section that mandates mental health digital services to adhere to the existing disclosure and confidentiality provisions outlined in Title 50, chapter 16, part 5, when handling health care information. The bill defines "mental health digital service" as any mobile application or website that collects or uses information related to an individual's mental health or substance use disorder, and it allows individuals whose information is improperly disclosed to seek remedies as specified in the law.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new section will be integrated into Title 50, chapter 16, part 5, ensuring that the existing provisions of this title apply to the newly established confidentiality standards. This legislative effort seeks to safeguard sensitive mental health information in the digital realm, thereby promoting trust and security for users of these services.
