Like House Bill No. 286, House Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 286 prohibits discrimination in life insurance based on genetic characteristics, genetic information, or the result of any genetic test. House Substitute No. 1 for House Bill No. 286 differs from House Bill No. 286 as follows: 1. Provides a definition of “direct-to-consumer genetic testing”. 2. Allows the use of any genetic information that is in an individual's medical record or application for life insurance. 3. Allows a person engaged in the business of life insurance to request that an individual share genetic information from a direct-to-consumer genetic testing or to request that an individual provide written consent for entity to provide that information. 4. Allows an entity that provides direct-to-consumer genetic testing to share information with a person engaged in the business of life insurance but only with the written consent of the individual. 5. Clarifies that a person engaged in the business of life insurance may not do any of the following: a. Require that an individual take a genetic test. b. Require that an individual provide genetic information received from an entity providing direct-to-consumer genetic testing or provide written consent for the entity to provide that information. c. Take into consideration the refusal by an individual to take a genetic test, provide genetic information received from direct-to-consumer genetic testing, or provide written consent to share information from direct-to-consumer genetic testing. Like HB 286, HS 1 for HB 286 also does all of the following: 1. Makes corresponding corrections to § 2317 of Title 18 by revising the heading for clarity and the definition of "insurance" to conform with the terms and definitions used in Title 18. 2. Is known as "The Ericka Byler Act”.
