State Qui Tam Legislative Updates

 

Sadly, as the last of the state legislative sessions wind down this month, it appears that we do have a single new state False Claims Act to report.  Kansas appears to have passed a non-qui tam state statute, which can only be enforced by that state's OAG.     

There is a glimmer of hope from Minnesota, however, as both houses of the MN state legislature have apparently passed slightly different versions of a "true" FCA—that is, one with qui tam provisions which allow a private individual to file suit in the name of the state to recover treble damages, civil penalties, and attorney's fees and costs for fraud on the state.
