AB 1979: Confidentiality of Medical Information Act: definitions.

The Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) prohibits a provider of health care, a health care service plan, a contractor, or a corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates from intentionally sharing, selling, using for marketing, or otherwise using any medical information, as defined, for any purpose not necessary to provide health care services to a patient, except as provided. The act defines various terms for its purposes.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.
