Georgia is on track for State Qui Tam Whistleblower Law
Georgia made history this week by passing a "State False Medicaid Claims Act" in the Senate. It is now enroute to Governor Sonny Perdue's office for his blessing and signature. One passed, it will be the newest state to follow the federal False Claims Act.
Many states are creating State False Claims Acts in response to the incentives Congress adopted in the Deficit Reduction Act. New York recently approved a State False Claims Act.
Representative Edward Lindsey and Senator Seth Harp sponsored this Bill.
