Bill Filing: DNA Gets Private Property Rights & Civil Penalties.

HB 1220 by Laubenberg establishes private property rights for a person’s DNA and RNA.

Without informed consent, DNA and RNA cannot be:

• collected
• tested
• retained

If DNA and RNA is collected, tested, or retained without informed consent, the Attorney General may seek injunctive relief and a civil penalty that is tied to profits.   HB 1220
