(Carson City, NV) — Nevada has written off 106-million dollars in so-called bad debt. The Nevada Independent reports that the state has given up trying to collect that money. Some of the bad debt comes from businesses that have gone bankrupt and from a criminal who was convicted of committing Medicaid fraud. Nevada does not have a law that automatically eliminates bad debt after 10 years, so some of the money has been owed to the state for three decades. State officials are now considering using AI to create a chatbot that can track down people who still owe money.
