Dear Sen. Johnson, I urge you to vote NO on BS676 in the Senate Finance on March 17. Under the appearance of helping people de-transition, this bill is actually a massive data grab. It requires that providers submit to the state a huge amount of information on patients, procedures, and the providers themselves.This bill then directs that much of it be reported publicly. This bill endangers the data privacy of patients. Even though providers do not submit patient names, they submit so much specific information that others might use it to determine who they are. This data gathering and reporting puts a target on providers that could endanger their lives or those who share facilities with them because of how much vitriol has been generated about the issue.
