MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify that patient consent forms must explicitly limit financial liability to the cost of services actually provided, rather than prohibiting only 'unspecified' amounts. Additionally, the definition of 'consent' was expanded to include a requirement that authorization cannot be inferred from inaction, ensuring patients must actively agree to medical procedures.
REQUIREMENT

Changed the requirement for patient consent forms from prohibiting 'unlimited or unspecified' liability language to explicitly stating patients are only liable for the cost of services actually provided.

DEFINITION

Added a new clause to the definition of 'consent' stating that authorization cannot be inferred from inaction, requiring an active affirmative action by the patient.
