On April 27, Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the state’s expansive health privacy law, the My Health My Data Act. Effective March 31, 2024, the MHMDA establishes a comprehensive privacy framework for entities doing business in Washington state that handle consumer health data. Reflecting a trend by lawmakers to safeguard health-related data not historically protected by laws such as HIPAA, the act was designed to “close an egregious legal loophole that allows non-health care organizations to collect, share or sell private health information.” Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity associates Lili Burns and Jonathan Newmark explain more in Bloomberg Law.
