Bill overview
This bill, the Don’t Sell My DNA Act, aims to protect individuals’ genetic information during bankruptcy proceedings. It modifies existing bankruptcy law to prevent the sale or lease of genetic information, as defined by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, without explicit written consent from all affected parties. The bill also requires trustees to securely delete any estate-owned genetic information that wasn’t previously handled during the bankruptcy process. This legislation strengthens privacy protections related to sensitive genetic data.
