S. 4990 · 116th Congress
Health Data De-identification Report Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
This bill requires the Office for Civil Rights within the Department of Health and Human Services to study the validity and effectiveness of current methods used to determine if health information is not individually identifiable for purposes of federal privacy rules that apply to health data.
