Passed the Michigan House or Senate, but not yet both — still not law.

Health facilities: hospitals; hospital financial assistance act; enact. Creates new act.

Key claim: HB6071 would enact a new Hospital Financial Assistance Act in Michigan, establishing a statutory framework for financial assistance provided by hospitals.

Abstract

(HB6071 · 103rd Legislature) Health facilities: hospitals; hospital financial assistance act; enact. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred To Committee Of The Whole

Why this matters

A statutory Hospital Financial Assistance Act would move Michigan from voluntary or nonprofit-tax-driven charity care practices toward a codified framework, potentially expanding predictable financial relief for uninsured and underinsured patients. Paired with proposed medical debt collection limits, it signals a broader legislative effort to reshape hospital billing and safety-net obligations.
