This bill aims to prohibit medical professionals from soliciting individuals who have been injured or involved in accidents for the purpose of providing healthcare services. It introduces a new section, 17-80-123, to the Arkansas Code, defining "medical professional" and "solicitation," and establishes that such solicitation is not allowed unless there is a prior relationship with the individual or it occurs more than 30 days after the incident. Violations of this prohibition are classified as a Class D felony, and any agreements made as a result of such solicitation are deemed invalid.

Additionally, the bill outlines penalties for violations, including the requirement for medical professionals to refund any payments made for services obtained through illegal solicitation, along with reasonable attorney fees for the affected parties. It also allows individuals who suffer financial loss due to violations to pursue private legal action for damages. The bill clarifies that while direct solicitation is prohibited, targeted advertising through mail or other media is permissible as long as it does not involve coercion or misleading information.
