Medical information: confidentiality.

Summary

The bill updates the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, obligating providers, insurers, pharmaceutical companies, contractors and any business that stores electronic health records to put in place specific safeguards for information about gender‑affirming care, abortions and contraception. It mandates limiting who can view that data, keeping it separate from other medical information, and blocking its transfer outside California. Violations are treated as crimes under existing penalties, and local governments are not reimbursed for any costs.
