Criminalizes acting as a runner or soliciting or employing a runner to procure patients or clients
This bill makes it illegal for a person to act as a "runner" (get paid to recruit patients or clients for healthcare or legal services) or to hire/solicit someone to do so, specifically to claim insurance or government benefits. It creates three levels of offenses: a misdemeanor for basic violations, and felonies for larger-scale or higher-value activity ($2,500+ or 5+ times for second degree; $5,000+ or 10+ times for first degree). The law excludes legitimate activities like using public media (newspapers, ads) or legal referrals. It directly affects providers (like doctors or lawyers) who hire recruiters and the recruiters themselves, but not those using standard advertising.
