GENETIC INFO PRIVACY-BIOMARKER
January 16, 2026
Summary
If enacted, this bill would expand Illinois's Genetic Information Privacy Act to cover biomarker testing and information derived from it, designating such data as confidential and privileged. It would prohibit insurers from seeking genetic or biomarker testing information for underwriting or non-therapeutic purposes (unless the individual voluntarily submits favorable results) and would restrict employers' use and disclosure of this data. The bill defines 'biomarker' and 'biomarker testing' and limits home rule authority over these matters.
