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, it involves the deletion of a section from previous acts that pertained to medical debt, indicating a shift in the legislative approach to managing medical debt issues.

In the proposed amendment, the entire Section 2 from prior acts is removed, which suggests a significant change in the framework governing medical debt relief. The new language that replaces the deleted section is not specified in the summary, but the overall intent of the bill is to enhance protections for individuals facing medical debt and to prevent such debts from negatively impacting their credit scores.
