Increase Consumer Protections Medical Transactions

I had a press conference this week in support of Senator Sonya Jaquez-Lewis and my medical debt billing bill, SB23-093. We've worked so hard on it, and with the Colorado Attorney General's office, to help protect people from predatory debt collectors. It would cap interest rate to 3% on medical debt, require much needed transparency for patients into where and how each collection agency got their debt, and require payment plans. I've linked below the AG's page about everything this bill does:
