  • Personal identifying information of registrants on the brain tumor registry; or
  • Any information that is received by the Center from an individual from another state or nation, or from the Federal Government, if that information is confidential or exempt pursuant to the laws of the state or nation from which the information is transmitted.

These provisions were approved by the Governor and take effect on July 1, 2016.
