AI Summary
This bill enacts the "False Claims Act" to provide remedies and civil sanctions against a person who presents a false or fraudulent claim to obtain money, property, or services from the state or a local government. The bill defines key terms such as "claim," "false claim," and "knowing and knowingly." It imposes civil penalties and damages on persons who commit certain acts related to false claims, with provisions for reduced penalties in certain cases. The bill allows the Attorney General or a local government to investigate and bring civil actions, and also allows private persons to bring "qui tam" civil actions on behalf of the state or local government. It includes provisions for handling such lawsuits, including rules around intervention, dismissal, and awards to the qui tam plaintiff. The bill also prohibits retaliation against persons who report false claims, and authorizes the Attorney General to promulgate rules to implement the Act.
