Question

Title II of GINA restricts the deliberate acquisition of genetic information by employers and others covered by Title II and strictly limits such entities from disclosing genetic information. (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008).

True or False?

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA) published in 2008 states in Title II, that it is illegal to discriminate among employees based on their genetic mixing, and accepting or rejecting applicants in any area of expertise due to their genetic information. Hence, Title II of GINA restricts employers, employer agencies, labor organizations and other agencies from requesting genetic information, purchasing genetic information and disclosing employees genetic information for making labor decisions. However, the Health and Human services labor department allows using genetic information for making decisions of health insurance coverage by health insurance providers only as stated in Title I of GINA.
