Unlike the United States Constitution, the California Constitution’s guarantee of individual rights “creates a right of action against private actors.” (Hill v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn. (1994) 7 Cal. 4th 1, 20) .  \nI am also writing to remind Amazon of its legal obligations under Assembly Bill 352 (2023) (Bauer-Kahan) . Specifically, AB 352 prohibits pharmacies from knowingly disclosing, transmitting, transferring, sharing, or granting access to “medical information in an electronic health records system or through a health information exchange that would identify an individual and that is related to an individual seeking, obtaining, providing, supporting, or aiding in the performance of an abortion that is lawful under” California law to anyone from another state, unless authorized pursuant to specified circumstances. (Civ. Code, § 56.110.) In addition, as of July 1, 2024, businesses, including pharmacies and those they contract with to store or maintain medical information related to sensitive services, are required to enable certain security features, including limiting user access privileges and segregating medical information related to genderaffirming care, abortion and abortion-related services, and contraception. (Civ. Code, § 56.101.) Pharmacies must ensure that they and the businesses they contract with for such services comply with these laws.  \nPlease provide, by July 31, 2024, Amazon’s policies demonstrating that Amazon requires a warrant before providing medical information to law enforcement without patient authorization if the request occurs in California or involves California patient data. Please also provide, by July 31, 2024, Amazon’s policies, or those ofits electronic health record (EHR) subcontractor(s), demonstrating compliance with the new requirements of AB 352.  \nProtecting the privacy of medical information, particularly reproductive and other sensitive healthcare information, is critically important. I appreciate your help in ensuring that Amazon has sufficiently protective policies and procedures in place to safeguard the medical information of California patients.  \nSincerely,  \nSEAN C.
