California Attorney General Rob Bonta has issued reminders to major pharmacy chains and health data companies about their legal obligations under the new AB 352 law, which enhances the state’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA). This law, effective from 1 July 2024, prevents the disclosure of reproductive health and gender-affirming care information to out-of-state entities without patient consent. The companies are required to implement robust security measures to protect sensitive health data and avoid sharing it with law enforcement without a warrant, emphasizing the state’s commitment to safeguarding patient privacy following the repeal of Roe v. Wade.
