Description
Introduced bill on mental health digital services and mental health application information (AB 2089)
On 24 March 2022, California Assembly Bill on mental health privacy (AB 2089) was introduced in the State Assembly as a result of an amendment fully rewriting the provisions of the previously unrelated Bill. The Bill proposes to limit the sharing of consumer personal information by mental health application developers, unless certain conditions, such as the anonymisation of the data or the affirmative consent of the consumer, have been met. Further, the Bill would require mental health application developers to register annually with the attorney general, starting from 31 January 2023.
