SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Health information plays a vital role in 
every aspect of an individual’s life. It includes some 
of the most sensitive information available about an 
individual. 
(2) An individual’s health information is cur-
rently accessible to many people who do not need the 
information to provide health care to the individual, 
often without the individual’s knowledge or consent. 
(3) Individuals will be deterred from using the 
health care system unless they are assured that the 
confidentiality of their health information will be re-
spected. 
(4) There exists little Federal protection of the 
confidentiality of an individual’s health information. 
(5) While health information often is trans-
ferred across State lines, protection of the confiden-
tiality of health information varies greatly from 
State to State, with little protection in some States. 
(6) New technologies increase the importance of 
addressing new threats to the confidentiality of 
health information. For example, technologies that 
permit an individual’s health information to be com-
puterized increase the possibility of unauthorized 
electronic access to the information. Technologies

tribal fisheries on the Klamath River.’’.

(16 U.S.C. 460ss–2(c)), is amended—
(1) in the first sentence by striking ‘‘11’’ and
inserting ‘‘12’’; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new
paragraph:
‘‘(6) A representative of the Karuk Indian
Tribe who shall be appointed by the governing body
of the tribe.’’.

(a) FINDINGS.—Section 1 of the Klamath River

460ss), is amended—
that provide genetic information provide information 
not just about an individual’s current health but also 
about the individual’s potential future health and the 
health of the individual’s relatives. This creates po-
tential new uses and abuses of genetic health infor-
mation that need to be addressed by legislation. 
(7) The potential benefits from new genetic 
technologies will not be realized if individuals cannot 
trust that their health information is safe from un-
authorized uses. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are as fol-
lows: 
(1) To recognize that there is a right to privacy 
with respect to health information, including genetic 
information, and that this right must be protected 
accordingly. 
(2) To ensure that an individual’s interest in 
the privacy of their health information cannot be 
overridden without meaningful notice and informed 
consent, except in limited circumstances where there 
is a compelling public interest. 
(3) To provide individuals—

they are the subject; and

private sector industry associations or other organi-

(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENT.—The table of con-
tents contained in section 1(b) of such Act (116 Stat. 
2135) is amended by inserting after the item relating to 
section 509 the following:
‘‘Sec. 510. Private sector emergency preparedness program.’’.
Æ
(1) Private sector organizations own 85 percent 
of the Nation’s infrastructure facilities and employ 
the vast majority of the Nation’s employees. The re-
sources of these organizations, including property 
and personnel, can be coordinated in an emergency 
situation more efficiently than the population in gen-
eral. 
(2) Private sector organizations are often un-
prepared for emergencies, whether resulting from a 
natural disaster or a terrorist incident. Although 
there have been exemplary efforts by select private 
sector organizations, emergency preparedness is not 
generally a priority for these organizations. 
(3) The hearings of and testimony before the 
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the 
United States demonstrated that the lack of emer-
gency preparedness and evacuation planning, train-
ing, and exercises by private sector organizations 
may have contributed to additional casualties at the 
World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. 
(4) Although there may be an interest in pro-
moting emergency preparedness within private sector 
organizations, there remains uncertainty and confu-
sion as to the definition of appropriate and adequate
