: Michigan Construction LawNew Bill Would Create Michigan False Claims Act (H.B. 4773)
By Peter J. Cavanaugh
H.B. 4773 was likely introduced in response to passage of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which President Bush signed into law on February 8, 2006. The DRA includes an incentive for states to enact mini-False Claims Act statutes. Under the incentive, states with a false claims statute may receive an additional 10% of any funds recovered under the statute.
H.B. 4773 can be read here.
