What it does
Existing law prohibits discrimination on the basis of genetic information under various provisions of law, including, among others, the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. Existing law prohibits discrimination in the enrollment of health insurance plans on the basis of an individual's genetic characteristics, as defined. Existing law also imposes prohibitions on the disclosure by a health care service plan of the results of a test for a genetic characteristic contained in an applicant's or enrollee's medical records.
