Privacy – Will Brownsberger

Compassionate Choices

I am a strong supporter of legislation to create end-of-life options, also referred to as “compassionate choices.”

Next week, the Senate will vote on a general data privacy bill for Massachusetts.

I was very pleased to vote for this bill — which is about keeping medical decisions private and personal.

The senate has developed a thoughtful and comprehensive bill to strengthen protections for health care privacy.

Current law affords residents protections and recourse, although data breaches remain an ongoing subject of work in the legislature.

We have enacted comprehensive legislation that criminalizes the non-consensual sharing of explicit images known as “revenge porn.”
