The bill S.27 focuses on providing relief from medical debt and aims to exclude medical debt from credit reports. The Senate has concurred with the House's proposal of amendment but has made further amendments to the existing legislation. Specifically, the bill proposes to delete the entirety of Sec. 2, which previously amended provisions related to medical debt in the 2022 Acts and Resolves.

In place of the deleted section, a new Sec. 2 has been inserted, although the text of this new section is not provided in the summary. The overall intent of the bill is to alleviate the financial burden of medical debt on individuals and to ensure that such debts do not negatively impact their credit ratings.
