Dear AAPS Members and Friends in Arizona,
Your help is needed to stop a bad bill that removes your control over your own personal health information that is set to receive a vote in the Arizona State Senate.
If passed, Senate Bill 1167 (House companion bill HB 2100) would ensconce into Arizona statute aspects of the Governor’s Executive Order 2022-02 that are detrimental to patient privacy. This shocking measure empowers a wide range of entities to access and redisclose your medical records — including your COVID-19 status and vaccination history — without your knowledge or permission.
Unfortunately, a good amendment proposed by Senator Nancy Barto, to stop the sharing of patients’ records without their consent, was not approved.
We need your help to stop the bill!
Please send a note to your Arizona State Senator and Representatives. Ask them to protect patient privacy and VOTE NO on SB 1167 and HB 2100.

Thank you for speaking out. Your voice makes a difference!
