L. 111-148, 124 Stat. 119, Mar. 23, 2010). Included in HIPAA is the statutory reporting requirement that the Committee submit to Congress and make public, a report regarding the implementation of part C of title XI of the Social Security Act.

The Subcommittee on Privacy, Confidentiality, and Security will continue its inquiry into and discussion of Privacy and Security in Health Data Access.
