The sponsor's argument

Why Liz Krueger says this is needed

Most residents of the State are under the impression that. HIPAA protects them and their health data from being accessed by third parties and sold by and to other organizations. Residents are generally unaware that their technology is constantly tracking their movements, and geolo- cation data is being sold to companies for the purposes of targeted advertisements or tracking. Most users also do not have an understanding of how much information is being collected, stored, and sold for the benefit of third parties. For example, a mobile app to track menstrua- tion cycles was recently caught selling users' data to antiabortion advocacy organizations. This bill creates a legal framework for residents to reclaim and retain control of their healthcare information. Electronic apps or websites, that are designed to provide a diagnosis or retain health information will be required to receive affirmative consent by the user to retain such information and would provide users the ability to rescind such consent. The bill also provides a legal remedy for those whose data was improperly collected or used.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
