Federal Trade Commission June 9, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') proposes to amend the Commission's Health Breach Notification Rule (the ``HBN Rule'' or the ``Rule'') and requests public comment on the proposed changes. The HBN Rule requires vendors of personal health records (``PHRs'') and related entities that are not covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (``HIPAA'') to notify individuals, the FTC, and, in some cases, the media of a breach of unsecured personally identifiable health data.
