California AG Says Sale Of 23andMe Does Not Comply With State Law

Politico (6/30) reports 23andMe’s “recent sale to a research institute ‘does not comply’ with California’s landmark genetic privacy law, state Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said Monday.” The sale to TTAM Research Institute violates the state’s Genetic Information Privacy Act, “which requires companies to obtain opt-in consent from customers before selling their genetic information to third parties.” Bonta’s objections come after a federal bankruptcy judge on Friday authorized the sale.
