On May 1, 2008, the House of Representatives, by a vote of 414-1, passed
the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of genetic information with respect to health
insurance and employment. The Senate had previously approved the bill,
with a 95-0 vote, on April 24, 2008. President Bush is expected to sign
the bill within the next two weeks.
