Bill > SB0701

This bill amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act to prohibit certain unfair, unconscionable, or deceptive methods, acts, or practices in trade or commerce. Specifically, it adds a new provision that prohibits violating the "medical debt protection act," which refers to laws governing the collection and interest rates associated with medical debt. The bill also makes minor technical changes to existing language within the act, such as clarifying references to goods or services and individuals. This legislation is tied to another bill, Senate Bill 702 of the 103rd Legislature, meaning it will only become law if that bill is also enacted.
