Summary
The bill bars health‑care facilities and collection agencies from charging interest or late fees on medical bills for 90 days after the invoice is due, and limits any fees to 3% per year. It also prevents lenders from placing liens or foreclosing on a person's primary residence to collect medical debt. The measures aim to protect patients from aggressive debt‑collection practices.
