Plain-language change summary

The latest version of House Bill 192 has removed a provision that provided salary supplements for licensed school counselors who hold a master's degree. This change means that these counselors will no longer receive additional pay as part of this bill, which could impact their overall compensation and financial support in their roles. By excluding school counselors from the salary supplements, the bill may affect their recruitment and retention in schools, which is important for student support services.

    A hospital or ambulatory surgical facility shall not refer a patient's unpaid bill to a collections agency, entity, or other assignee during the pendency of a patient's application for charity care or financial assistance under the hospital's or ambulatory surgical facility's charity care or financial assistance policies. → A hospital or ambulatory surgical facility shall not refer a patient's unpaid bill to a collections agency, entity, or other assignee unless it has first presented an itemized list of charges to the patient detailing, in language comprehensible to an ordinary layperson, the specific nature of the charges or expenses incurred by the patient.
