(b) Limiting disclosure of predictive modeling technologies In implementing such provisions under such section 1320a7m with respect to covered algorithms (as defined in subsection (c)), the following shall apply:
(1) Nonapplication of FOIA The covered algorithms used or developed for purposes of such section 1320a7m (including by the Secretary or a State (or an entity operating under a contract with a State)) shall be exempt from disclosure under section 552(b)(3) of title 5.
(2) Limitation with respect to use and disclosure of information by State agencies (A) In general A State agency may not use or disclose covered algorithms used or developed for purposes of such section 1320a7m except for purposes of administering the State plan (or a waiver of the plan) under the Medicaid program under subchapter XIX or the State child health plan (or a waiver of the plan) under the Childrens Health Insurance Program under subchapter XXI, including by enabling an entity operating under a contract with a State to assist the State to identify or prevent waste, fraud, and abuse with respect to such programs.
(B) Information security A State agency shall have in effect data security and control policies that the Secretary finds adequate to ensure the security of covered algorithms used or developed for purposes of such section 1320a7m and to ensure that access to such information is restricted to authorized persons for purposes of authorized uses and disclosures described in subparagraph (A).
