Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The LINE Act prohibits the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services from sharing Medicaid health information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or other law enforcement agencies for immigration enforcement purposes. The bill protects Medicaid enrollees' private health data from being used to identify, locate, or prosecute immigrants, addressing concerns that people may avoid seeking necessary medical care if they fear their information could be used against them in immigration cases. The legislation applies to all individually identifiable health information collected through state Medicaid programs and creates a broad restriction on data disclosure regardless of other federal privacy laws. No specific funding or implementation timeline is designated in the bill text. The measure was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the House Committees on Financial Services and Oversight and Government Reform.
