Pennsylvania HB2344 establishes protections against coerced debt and outlines procedures for debtors to dispute such debts.

Pennsylvania HB2344 amends Title 12 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to provide protections against coerced debt. The bill requires the Treasury Department to develop a petition for debtors to dispute debts they claim were incurred through coercion. The petition must include information about the debt, a statement of non-consent, documentation from a qualified third party, and the debtor's contact information. The creditor must make a determination within 10 business days and notify the debtor of the decision.
