S 1916 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Don’t Sell My DNA Act

This bill amends bankruptcy law to prevent the sale or sharing of genetic information (such as DNA data) in bankruptcy cases without explicit written consent. It requires bankruptcy trustees to delete genetic data from estate records unless it's sold with consent from every affected person, including those not involved in the case. The law applies to all bankruptcy cases pending or filed after enactment, directly affecting bankruptcy trustees and estate managers handling genetic data. It does not create new privacy protections outside bankruptcy proceedings.
