AN ACT PROHIBITING HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS FROM REQUIRING PATIENTS TO PROVIDE AN ELECTRONIC PAYMENT METHOD TO BE KEPT ON FILE WITH THE PROVIDER.

SB 765 prohibits healthcare providers from requiring patients to provide an electronic payment method (like a credit card or digital wallet) to be stored on file for future visits. This directly affects patients who would no longer face mandatory enrollment in such payment systems as a condition for receiving care. The bill's key provision bans providers from making this requirement part of their standard billing process. It does not address other payment methods or billing practices, focusing solely on preventing the storage of electronic payment details without patient consent.
