Protecting Workers' Wages from Medical Debt Act

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to establish a nationwide prohibition on wage garnishment for medical debt . It specifically mandates that no employee's wages can be subjected to garnishment for the payment of any medical debt, and it explicitly forbids federal and state courts or agencies from enforcing such orders. The legislation defines "garnishment" as any legal procedure withholding wages for medical debt and "medical debt" as debt arising from health care services. This measure aims to safeguard individuals from losing their earnings due to medical expenses, with its provisions taking effect six months after the date of enactment.
