Bill overview
The Public Health Emergency Privacy Act aims to protect the privacy of health information collected during public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It establishes rules for organizations that collect, use, or disclose emergency health data, including requirements for notice, accuracy, security, and prohibiting commercial use or discriminatory practices. The bill also mandates public reporting by large data collectors and prohibits the use of this data to infringe on voting rights. It provides enforcement mechanisms through the Federal Trade Commission and State attorneys general.
