Take Action Oregon: Support Medical Privacy Today

Discrimination has no place in Oregon, especially when it comes to disclosing private health data

Our Stand

During times of emergency, health freedom and constitutional rights don’t stop being important, they become increasingly important. Medical privacy is a right that requires protection.
“Any electronic surveillance infrastructure, no matter how ‘secure,’ always creates new opportunities for major data breaches and misuse of information.” – ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)
This is why HB3284 is so imperative. It prohibits organizations from collecting, using, or disclosing personal health data on unconsenting individuals. This includes tracking, tracing, and monitoring of an individual’s exposure to COVID-19.
The bill also prohibits an organization from retaining, storing, or using personal health data or using any data for discriminatory purposes, and requires them to destroy, delete, or render this data inaccessible.
The -4 Amendment that was placed on the bill on May 18 seeks to remove COVID-19 vaccination status as protected personal health information. We would like to see this bill pass without -4 amendment.
A new work session will take place on May 24 at 8:00 am. Please reach out to your legislators prior and let them know that you would like to see the bill pass WITHOUT the -4 amendment.
