In brief: The Nevada Legislature granted final passage to SB 370, a health data privacy bill modeled after Washington's My Health My Data Act. The bill was amended before final passage by the Nevada State Assembly 5 June to include an exemption for profiling that does not include personal health data and a new effective date of 31 March 2024. Unlike Washington's law, SB 370 does not carry a private right of action. Finalization of Nevada's bill is pending the governor's approval.
The bill is similar to the Washington law but with important distinctions. Let us remind you, in Washington, Governor Inslee signed the My Health My Data Act (HB 1155) into law, making Washington the first state to enact a health data privacy bill.
