House Bill 5254 proposes to modify the maximum interest rate allowed for medical debt. It seeks to achieve this by amending Section 3 of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. While the bill aims to impact consumers with medical debt and the entities that collect it, the provided text primarily details existing definitions of unfair trade practices within the act and does not include the specific language for the proposed interest rate modification.

MINOR
The bill was amended to change the condition required for it to take effect. Previously, it only needed one companion bill (HB 5255) to pass. Now, it requires two specific companion bills (Senate Bill No. 95 and House Bill No. 5255) to both be enacted into law before this bill becomes active.
Scope change
The bill's applicability is now conditional on the passage of two separate legislative measures instead of just one, effectively narrowing the window for the bill to take effect.
TIMELINE
The effective date condition was updated to require the enactment of both Senate Bill No. 95 and House Bill No. 5255, replacing the previous requirement that only House Bill No. 5255 be enacted.
