"Should any owner of a no-fault insurance medical clinic be determined to have used, solicited, hired, or employed any runner, or should any person be determined to have acted as a runner, that person would be subject to a misdemeanor and a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 for each runner used, solicited, directed, hired, or employed (if the accused violator is a clinic owner) or a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 for each violation (if the accused violator acted as a runner), or in either case a term of imprisonment not to exceed one year, or both such applicable monetary fine and such term of imprisonment."
Champion of justice Ray Zuppa was instrumental in the creation of the "Runner Bill." Zuppa is cited in footnotes 17, 20 and 25.
