What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
The Idaho Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority over the Genetic Testing Privacy Act.
Whenever the Attorney General has reason to believe an employer is violating, has violated, or is about to violate the chapter, the Attorney General may bring an action in the state's name for a declaratory judgment, an injunction, recovery of actual damages or restitution on behalf of the state and its agencies, and a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation, deposited to the state general fund. These remedies are in addition to any other available remedy at law or equity.
The chapter creates no private right of action for a genetic-information violation, unlike SDATAA's express injured-party route for student data.
