Complete·5/1/25

Montana SB163 revises privacy laws to include neural data alongside genetic data, requiring consent and security measures for data collection and use.

Montana SB163 amends the Genetic Information Privacy Act to include neural data, alongside genetic data, under its privacy protections. The bill mandates that entities collecting, using, or analyzing genetic or neural data must obtain express consent from consumers, detailing how the data will be used and shared. It also requires entities to implement security programs to protect against unauthorized access and to provide consumers with options to access, delete, or request the destruction of their data.
