Multi-State Consumer Health Data Checklist
Washington, Nevada, and Connecticut have different consumer health data privacy scopes and exemptions. Review each jurisdiction, entity, activity and data set before treating a control as a legal duty. These laws can reach digital health products, apps, wellness services and inferred health data, subject to their definitions and exceptions. Check items after confirming the applicable control or documenting why it is outside scope; leave unresolved applicability unchecked. Progress saves in this browser.
Items are grouped by jurisdiction. Common to all three groups related controls for review; it does not mean every control applies to every organization. Washington has specified data exclusions, including PHI under HIPAA; non-PHI still requires a definition and exclusion analysis. Nevada exempts persons and entities subject to HIPAA from NRS 603A.400–.550. Connecticut exempts HIPAA covered entities and business associates from §§42-515–42-525, but §42-526 has separate scope and exception rules. An exemption here does not resolve other privacy laws. A jurisdiction filter does not determine applicability or automatically suppress controls. Keep the basis for each applicable, outside-scope or unresolved conclusion in your assessment record; checked progress is review status, not a legal-compliance score.

Washington · My Health My Data
The strictest of the three and the only one with a private right of action, enforced through the Consumer Protection Act. No revenue or volume threshold: it reaches any regulated entity doing business in Washington or targeting Washington consumers.
Nevada · SB 370
Structurally close to Washington, with separate consent for collection and sharing and a distinct authorization for sale. Attorney General enforcement only, no private right of action, which is the practical difference that matters.
Connecticut · CTDPA
A comprehensive privacy law rather than a health-specific one. Consumer health data is sensitive data requiring opt-in consent, and applicability turns on consumer-volume thresholds that the other two do not have.
California is covered separately and in more depth by the California Health Privacy Checklist, which walks CMIA, the AB 352 and AB 254 sensitive-services rules, and the state breach clocks. If you are assessing an AI or analytics vendor that touches any of this data, the AI Risk Assessment covers the contract terms. For the federal baseline underneath all of it, start with the HIPAA Privacy Rule Checklist.
This checklist compiles selected requirements from Washington's My Health My Data Act (RCW 19.373), Nevada SB 370 (2023), and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, for general compliance-learning purposes. These statutes are recent, unevenly interpreted, and largely untested in litigation; several key terms including the scope of "consumer health data" itself remain unsettled, and section-level requirements change with amendment. This checklist is organized by obligation rather than by statutory subsection for that reason, and it is not a complete inventory of any of the three laws, nor of the other states that have enacted or are considering similar measures. This is not legal advice. Brandon Goulter is not an attorney, and using this checklist creates no professional advisory relationship. Verify current requirements against the primary sources linked above and confirm your own program's compliance with a licensed attorney before relying on this checklist.
