later than thirty (30) days after the individual communicates the
revocation to the provider, including by:

the individual has not consented under section 9 of this chapter;

(ii) notify the individual that any claims made in the
advertising or marketing communications have not been
evaluated by the provider.
(b) A consumer genetic testing provider may not provide data, other

(1) an insurer;
(2) a person that, in the ordinary course of the person's business,
provides information or data to insurers for the purposes of
underwriting or rating of risks; or
(3) a person that employs the individual;
regardless of whether the individual has consented to the provider
providing third parties with access to the data under section 9(a)(3) of
this chapter.

provision of biological material or for the provision of data resulting
from genetic testing performed on biological material:
(1) to a law enforcement agency on the basis of a search warrant;
or
(2) as required by a court order;
that is more than the actual cost, not including labor costs or overhead
costs, to the consumer genetic testing provider of providing the
material or data.
