Prevents companies from selling people's DNA information without permission.
The problem
DNA data collected by companies could be sold to third parties without people knowing or agreeing, raising privacy concerns about genetic information misuse.
The proposal
Requires companies to get clear written consent before selling or sharing DNA information and gives people the right to know if their DNA was sold.
The impact
Affects genetic testing companies, consumers who use DNA tests, law enforcement, researchers, and health insurers who may want access to genetic data.
People deserve to control their own genetic information. This bill ensures companies cannot secretly sell DNA data to others without permission. It gives individuals power over their most sensitive personal information.
Without protection, insurers or employers could use DNA information to deny coverage or jobs. This bill helps stop genetic discrimination before it becomes widespread.
Companies must clearly tell people what happens to their DNA data. This helps people make informed choices about whether to use genetic testing services.
DNA testing reveals information about relatives too. This bill protects entire families' genetic privacy, not just individual test-takers.
Researchers need large amounts of genetic data to find cures for diseases. Strict consent rules could make it harder for scientists to access data needed for important studies.
DNA testing companies make money by selling data to researchers and other businesses. This bill limits their ability to profit from data sales, which could increase costs for consumers.
Police use DNA databases to solve crimes and identify suspects. Restrictions on data sharing could make it harder for law enforcement to investigate serious crimes.
Companies must build new systems to track consent and manage data requests. These expenses could be passed to consumers through higher testing prices.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
