Standardizing Medical Device Access in Secure Government Facilities.

This bill aims to standardize and increase transparency regarding the use of electronic medical devices (EMDs) in highly secure government facilities. It requires agencies to track approvals and denials of EMDs and publish lists of approved devices, making it easier for employees with medical needs to work in classified environments. Crucially, it mandates the protection of personal medical information.
Key points
Agencies must create public lists detailing which electronic medical devices are approved or denied for use in secure facilities, along with justifications.
An oversight board will review policies to ensure consistency and resolve discrepancies in device approval rules across different government entities.
The law requires strict protection of employees' personal medical information and privacy throughout the approval process.
