Genetic Information Privacy Act (including 2025 neurotechnology data amendments)

Montana's direct-to-consumer genetic privacy law requires consent, notice, security and consumer control over genetic data and biological samples. A 2025 amendment (SB 163) extended every protection to neurotechnology (neural) data, making Montana one of the first states to regulate neural data this way. It also bars storing covered data in sanctioned or foreign-adversary countries and requires consent to store it outside the United States.
