Bill overview
This bill aims to protect individuals from debts incurred through coercion or abuse. It establishes that a person who causes another to take on a ‘coerced debt’ is responsible for paying it, rather than the victim. The bill also prevents creditors and credit reporting agencies from pursuing or reporting these debts, and requires reimbursement for any financial losses suffered by the victim. It defines ‘coerced debt’ as debt incurred through force, fraud, or economic abuse.
