Time to Comply: Washington My Health My Data Act

On April 27, 2023, the Washington State governor signed into law the My Health My Data Act or the MHMDA. In spite of the onerous and at times confusing requirements of the MHMDA, the Washington Attorney General (AG) has only published a short set of Frequently Asked Questions to help address some of this uncertainty.  Nevertheless, most of the law’s provisions take effect on March 31, 2024, meaning that, at this point, companies have a very short runway to meet their obligations and brace for the private right of action allowed for under the act.   With this in mind, we have prepared this brief recap of the law and the steps companies should consider as they gear up for compliance. Our more detailed summary of the MHMDA is available in our original insight, and we will also be releasing a series of short FAQs over the coming weeks to help companies prepare.
