MODERATE
The bill was amended from its introduction to its first engrossment, changing the title to reflect a new prohibition on data dissemination. The primary policy change restricts the release of unredacted Optum reports to a specific group of legislators (chairs and ranking minority members of relevant committees) rather than the general public, and adds a mandate preventing Optum from selling or sharing private individual data.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed regarding public access to reports and expanded regarding data privacy protections for Optum.
REQUIREMENT
Access to unredacted Optum reports is now limited to specific legislative committee leadership rather than being released to the general public.
A new requirement prohibits Optum from selling, sharing, or disseminating private individual data received under the contract.
TIMELINE
The posting date of the bill text was updated from March 2 to March 16, 2026.
SCOPE
The bill title was updated to explicitly include the prohibition on data dissemination.
