Bill > HF2354

This bill enhances the state's ability to combat medical assistance fraud by granting the Attorney General expanded subpoena powers to access financial, banking, and insurance records relevant to investigations, and by establishing new criminal penalties for various fraudulent activities related to medical assistance funds, including schemes to defraud, submitting false claims, providing false information as a provider, and intentionally destroying records. It also clarifies that such fraud is a continuing offense for statute of limitations purposes, allows prosecution in multiple counties, and mandates restitution for victims. The bill appropriates $1,230,000 to the Attorney General for fiscal year 2027 to combat this type of fraud and repeals an existing, less specific statute on medical assistance fraud.
