US bill to protect reproductive health data is dead. Here's why you should care anyway
Legislation recently reintroduced in the US Senate and House of Representatives aims to protect reproductive and sexual health data and prevent it from being monetized – or used to prosecute people in post-Roe America.
."Just because the bill is not going to become law this year doesn't mean it won't become law next Congress, if there's a different majority."] aims to minimize the amount of sexual health data that is collected by non-HIPAA-covered organizations – apps, search engines, mobile devices, and the like – to prevent this information from being disclosed or misused.
Newly regulated entities would be required to develop and share a privacy policy with consumers that details how they collect and use reproductive health information, and the Federal Trade Commission would be tasked with enforcing the law. Lawmakers in both the Senate and the House reintroduced the legislation on May 17, the day a federal court of appeals heard oral arguments in a case that could limit access to the abortion pill, mifepristone.
