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 law. Specifically, it strikes out the previous Section 2, which was part of the 2022 Acts and Resolves, and replaces it with a new Section 2, although the content of this new section is not detailed in the summary provided.

This legislative change is part of a broader effort to address the financial burdens associated with medical debt and its impact on individuals' credit ratings. By removing medical debt from credit reports, the bill seeks to improve the financial standing of those affected by such debts, thereby facilitating better access to credit and financial opportunities.
