Relating to genetic information security for residents of this state; providing a civil penalty; providing a private cause of action.

SB 2429 creates new protections for Texas residents' genetic data by prohibiting medical facilities, research organizations, and companies from sharing genetic information with foreign adversaries. The bill establishes a private right to sue for violations and imposes civil fines on entities that fail to prevent such access. It applies to any organization conducting genetic research or testing within Texas, including facilities receiving state funding. The law defines key terms like "foreign adversary" (per federal regulation) and "genome sequencing" to clarify coverage.
