Democratic senators have reintroduced legislation to prevent health care providers from actions such as wage garnishment in connection with unpaid medical debts.
It is among several proposals on medical debt collections introduced at the state and federal level this year.
Suspend all extraordinary collection actions by health care providers for all medical debt (e.g. wage garnishment, bank account seizure) during the covered period (i.e. from Feb. 1, 2020, until the end of the public health emergency or 18 months after enactment of this bill).

Some three weeks after its introduction, a bill encompassing sweeping police reforms cleared its first committee hearing but only after the sponsor made considerable changes.
Members of the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee voted 4-3 Wednesday to move Senate Bill 227 to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Among other measures, the bill would restrict police officers’ use of physical force and require them to intercede and report when they witness excessive use of force by a colleague.
Law enforcement agencies also would have to submit a report to the state within 30 days of an incident and post the report on their website for public access.
