Nueva Ley apoyará sobrevivientes  de asalto y consumidores

La líder demócrata del Senado, Kay Floyd, expresó su agradecimiento a sus principales autores de la Cámara de Representantes, a los miembros de ambas cámaras y al gobernador Kevin Stitt después de que dos de sus medidas se convirtieran en ley. Floyd, D-OKC, es autor principal del Proyecto de Ley del Senado 871, que fortalece los estatutos de protección al consumidor, y HB 2236, que ayuda mejor a los sobrevivientes de agresión sexual con los costos relacionados con la atención médica.

"Creo profundamente que nosotros, como funcionarios electos, estamos aquí para crear políticas públicas que mejoren la vida de nuestros ciudadanos, y eso es especialmente importante cuando se trata de apoyar a los sobrevivientes de agresión sexual y proteger a los ciudadanos de las estafas de los consumidores que a menudo se dirigen a nuestros ancianos", dijo Floyd. "Estoy agradecid por el apoyo en cada una de estas medidas. Son buenos proyectos de ley de política pública, y es por eso que estamos aquí".

HB 2236 aumenta la cantidad que se puede desembolsar del Fondo de Examen de Agresión Sexual para reembolsar las tarifas de examen de agresión sexual del paciente de $ 450 a $ 800. También aumenta la cantidad de dinero que se puede usar para medicamentos relacionados con la agresión sexual de $ 50 a $ 100 por caso. El autor principal de la legislación en la Cámara de Representantes es el representante Jeff Boatman, republicano de Tulsa.

"La tasa de reembolso actual ya no es sostenible para las enfermeras que realizan estos exámenes. Aumentar el monto del reembolso por el examen de agresión sexual y los medicamentos relacionados ayudará a estos trabajadores de la salud y al estado a servir mejor a las personas que desafortunadamente necesitan estos servicios", dijo Boatman. "Estoy muy agradecido por el trabajo del senador Floyd para aprobar este proyecto de ley en el Senado, para que los residentes de Oklahoma puedan continuar accediendo a la atención que necesitan".

SB 871 hace que sea una violación de la Ley de Protección al Consumidor de Oklahoma hacerse pasar por un representante de una agencia estatal en una carta o anuncio para defraudar a los ciudadanos, también conocido como una estafa de impostores. La autora principal del proyecto de ley es la representante Meloyde Blancett, demócrata de Tulsa.

"Con demasiada frecuencia, los habitantes de Oklahoma, y particularmente las personas mayores, se aprovechan de estos malos actores que pretenden representar a una agencia gubernamental, cobrando altas tarifas por cosas que las personas realmente no necesitan o pueden obtener a través de recursos gubernamentales legítimos de forma gratuita o costos nominales. Ahora, la División de Protección al Consumidor de la Procuraduría General tendrá la capacidad de perseguirlos y hacer que se detengan", dijo Blancett.

Ambos proyectos de ley entrarán en vigencia el 1 de noviembre de 2023

 

New Measures to support assault survivors, protect consumers

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Democratic Leader Kay Floyd expressed her thanks to her principal House authors, fellow members of both chambers and to Gov. Kevin Stitt after two of her measures were signed into law. Floyd, D-OKC, is Senate principal author of Senate Bill 871, which strengthens consumer protection statutes, and HB 2236, which better assists survivors of sexual assault with the costs related to medical care.

“I believe deeply that we, as elected officials, are here to create public policy that improves the lives of our citizens, and that’s especially important when it comes to supporting survivors of sexual assault and protecting citizens from consumer scams that often target our seniors,” Floyd said. “I’m grateful for the support on each of these measures. They’re good public policy bills, and that’s why we’re here.”

HB 2236 increases the amount that can be disbursed from the Sexual Assault Examination Fund for reimbursing patient sexual assault examination fees from $450 to $800. It also increases the amount of money that can be used for medications related to the sexual assault from $50 to $100 per case. The House principal author of the legislation is Rep. Jeff Boatman, R-Tulsa.

“The current reimbursement rate is no longer sustainable for nurses performing these examinations. Increasing the reimbursement amount for the sexual assault exam and related medications will help these health care workers and the state best serve the people who unfortunately find themselves in need of these services,” Boatman said. “I’m very grateful for the work of Senator Floyd to pass this bill through the Senate, so Oklahomans can continue to access the care they need.”

SB 871 makes it a violation of the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act to pose as a state agency representative in a letter or advertisement to defraud citizens, otherwise known as an imposter scam. The House principal author of the bill is Rep. Meloyde Blancett, D-Tulsa.

"Too often, Oklahomans - and particularly seniors - are taken advantage of by these bad actors pretending to represent a government agency, charging high fees for things people really don't need or can get through legitimate government resources for free or nominal costs. Now, the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division will have the ability to go after them and make them stop," Blancett said.

To report suspected fraud, visit the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at https://www.oag.ok.gov/consumer-protection.

Both bills will take effect on Nov. 1, 2023

    I contacted a couple of companies to seek help. How to improve my credit scores, after having some issues some time back? I didn’t see that I had any directly adverse stuff to be dead with, maybe it was just still residual from my bad period. I was told by other companies that it was a long process and I needed all of these services which of course cost a lot of money on a weekly basis and nothing was done. Thanks to the PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who came to save me, I call them Angels in human form. When PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST interviewed me he said it was not worth spending the money as it was just a matter of one software for my scores to creep back up. He did give me a couple of pointers that I could do myself to be sure that everything moved in a positive way. To my greatest amazement within 6 days my scores pumped high to 800+ across all 3 credit bureaus. I truly appreciate his honesty and direction.

    I haven’t been with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for long at all however I got an excellent service…. I spoke with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and he was attentive, knowledgeable and easy to speak with, during the conversation I explained my credit situation, I felt excited about getting my credit situation in order. I can’t believe what my eyes have seen on my credit report. They increased my credit score to 805 TransUnion, 808 Equifax, and 811 Experian. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST has made me feel like we were in my credit situation together, like we are a team. I’m super excited I sincerely recommend them: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM

    I recently have had a lot of issues with my credit score and I have tried a lot of different programs and none of them really helped me as PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I contacted them and they helped me step by step and I’m really thankful for their effort and service. I have recommended them to my friends and family. I also recommend everyone else to give them a try! You won’t regret it! Hit them by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM
