Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
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.
