Cosponsors - H.R.4827 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Medical Debt Relief Act of 2025
Support the Medical Debt Relief Act of 2025 to provide medical debt relief.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Rep. Nikema Williams as the sponsor of H.R. 4827, the Medical Debt Relief Act of 2025, introduced on 2025-07-29. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services the same day.
Williams's official House office announced on 2025-07-29 that she, along with Sen. Merkley and Rep. Correa, introduced the Medical Debt Relief Act. The release says the bill would ban medical debt from appearing on credit reports and prohibit creditors from using it in credit decisions.
Assessments
Williams promised to support the Medical Debt Relief Act of 2025. The evidence shows she directly sponsored H.R. 4827 and publicly introduced the bill in her current House term on July 29, 2025. Because the promise was framed as supporting the Act rather than securing enactment, sponsorship and introduction satisfy the pledged action even if the bill had only been referred to committee at that point.
