Health Privacy From Global Bureaucrats Act

Sponsored By: Representative Steube, W. Gregory [R-FL-17]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would prohibit sharing of taxpayer, patient, and vaccine data with the World Health Organization and foreign governments. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of the Treasury to take the actions necessary to stop those specific data transfers.

Show full summary
  • Families and patients: Blocks release of patient records and vaccine data that are under HHS control to the World Health Organization or any foreign government. This prevents international access to those U.S. health records.
  • Taxpayers: Prevents Treasury from disclosing taxpayer data it controls to the World Health Organization or foreign governments. That keeps tax information from being shared across those international channels.
  • Federal agency roles: Assigns responsibility to the "Secretary concerned," which the bill defines as Treasury for taxpayer data and HHS for patient and vaccine data, and requires those secretaries to implement the prohibition.
