Bill overview
This bill aims to protect Nevadans from aggressive debt collection practices related to medical bills. It prohibits health care entities and collection agencies from taking actions like arrests, foreclosures, wage garnishments, and selling debts to collection agencies, particularly for smaller debts. The bill also requires a longer waiting period before pursuing extraordinary collection actions and mandates clear notice to consumers, along with offering financial assistance information. It defines ‘extraordinary collection action’ and includes provisions for tolling statute of limitations during periods of declared emergencies.
