Law new is a term used to describe legal practices that offer innovative ways to help clients. This can be done by utilizing technology, focusing on process and using different fee structures. While this isn’t the sole way to help clients, it is a viable alternative to traditional legal practices.
Laws are official rules that govern behavior in a country or society. They are typically created through a legislative process such as Congress. A proposed law is known as a bill, and it goes through the process of researching, discussing, making changes, and then being voted on. If the bill passes, it becomes a statute and an official rule that all people must follow.
This legislation would prohibit hospitals, health care professionals, and certified ambulances from reporting medical debt to credit agencies. It would also prohibit financial institutions from denying credit to individuals based on outstanding medical debt. This bill will help reduce the number of people who are denied credit because of unpaid medical bills, and it will give New Yorkers access to credit to help them obtain jobs, rent apartments, purchase homes, pay for their children’s education, and build long-term wealth.
