AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE MEDICAL DEBT PROTECTION ACT.

This Act prohibits the reporting of medical debt information to consumer reporting agencies and prohibits any medical debt information that is contained in any consumer report from being used when making decisions regarding someone’s credit, employment, or housing. Since 2023, at least 9 other states have passed laws that prohibit or restrict the reporting of medical debt on credit reports, including California, New Jersey, and Virginia.
