Protecting DNA Privacy Act: Unlawful Use of DNA

Florida DNA Privacy Act
active

Enacted by HB 833 (2021), this law makes it a crime to collect, analyze, disclose, or sell someone's DNA without their express consent. It applies even where the sample was first collected with consent, so a genetic-testing company that later sells or transfers a sample or results needs fresh express consent.
