Prohibits collecting, using, selling, sharing, or keeping personal information of people at or within a precise geolocation (1,850-foot radius) of a family planning center except as needed to provide requested goods or services, and bans geofencing in-person health care providers to track, collect data from, notify, or advertise to patients or staff. AB 45 (2025) also shields identifiable health research records from out-of-state and law-enforcement demands tied to reproductive care.
