A 6050 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits acquisition or disclosure of personal health information without consent.

This bill (A6050) prohibits health care providers, mobile app developers, and third parties from collecting or sharing New Jersey residents' biometric data (like heart rate or fingerprints), health records, or protected health information without explicit consent. It requires consent before initial collection and within three days before each disclosure (with one consent covering multiple collections if authorized), but excludes sharing between health care providers for treatment. The bill does not override federal HIPAA protections, and violations could result in $1,000 per violation in damages plus legal fees. It directly affects entities handling health data from New Jersey residents.
