[NJ] Governor Murphy signs "Louisa Carman Medical Debt Relief Act” 
Official Site of the State of New Jersey; 7/22/24 
Governor Phil Murphy today signed the Louisa Carman Medical Debt Relief Act which will help New Jersey families avoid falling into medical debt and protect individuals from predatory medical debt collectors. The Louisa Carman Medical Debt Relief Act is named in honor of a member of the Governor’s Office who helped craft the proposal before tragically passing away in a car accident on New Year’s Day at the age of 25. Joined by Louisa’s family and advocates, the Governor signed the bill, advancing his Administration’s efforts to make New Jersey’s health care system more accessible and more affordable for more people.
