Or what? A slap on the wrist?
“The penalties for noncompliance with GINA range from $300,000 per incident when noncompliance is intentional and a minimum of $2500 to a maximum of $500,000, where noncompliance with the law is unintentional.”

It's good that you were able to quote the regulations. You're not wrong, I'm just apathetic; the question was more rhetorical. To be clear: I don't have faith that this is strong enough to deter and/or that governing policies have enough teeth to enforce. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm not hopeful.
in terms of corporate expenses for legal penalties that's barely a disinterested-grunt-from-parent-in-other-room, let alone a wrist slap
