Enhanced Privacy for Abortion and Pregnancy Loss Information (SAFER Health Act)
This Act significantly strengthens the privacy protection of your medical data related to abortion, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or stillbirth. It prohibits the disclosure of this information in federal, state, or local legal proceedings (civil, criminal, or administrative) without your explicit authorization. The goal is to ensure sensitive reproductive health data remains confidential, overriding conflicting state laws unless those laws offer stronger protection.
Key points
Information concerning abortion, miscarriage, and other pregnancy losses cannot be disclosed in any legal proceedings (judicial, criminal, administrative) without your written consent.
The Act requires health IT developers to segregate this sensitive data to ensure its security and prevent unauthorized sharing.
These rules preempt state laws if the state law offers less privacy protection for this specific type of medical information.
