SB 119 (Prescription Database Revisions)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

Under current law, police officers do not need a warrant to access a government database that lists a person's prescription medication. This bill would require them to first obtain a warrant, along with allowing a person to request their information from the database, including a list of people who have accessed their information.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. This sensitive medical information should not be open to any police officer to casually peruse, even in order to investigate an alleged crime. Violating a person's privacy in this manner should require probable cause and a search warrant, as this bill would require.
