Gerald Law, R-Plymouth, explained. Fear that genetic tests con ducted to identify future health problems might later be used as grounds for denial of health care coverage had Michigan residents concerned, according to the Gov ernor's Commission on Genetic Privacy. When the commission, created in 1997, reported back to the legislature last year that the fear could cause residents to begin avoiding getting genetic tests, it also recommended the pending legislation. The commission also heard from researchers who said that fears DNA information might fall into the hands of health insurance companies was already having a "chilling effect7" on state residents signing up to participate in genetic research projects. The four bill package, spon sored chiefly by Sen. John Schwarz, R-Battle Creek, would prohibit Blue Cross Blue Shield, health insurance companies and health maintenance organiza tions from reviewing genetic information prior to issuing poli cies and from selecting cus tomers based on genetic informa tion.
