        • Will the Connecticut Legislature Ignore the Construction Industry and Expand the False Claims Act?

        "Will the Connecticut Legislature Ignore the Construction Industry and Expand the False Claims Act?" co-authored by William A. Stoll and Frederick E. Hedberg, published in High Profile (4/4/2023)

        The article focuses on House Bill No. 6826, An Act Concerning Liability for False and Fraudulent Claims, which seeks to expand the scope of Connecticut’s current False Claims Act by eliminating the limitation that it only applies to state-administered health and human services programs. After a public hearing held on March 6, 2023, the bill was voted out of committee by a wide margin, and then added to the House Calendar on March 28, 2023. Fred and Will discuss false claims laws in New England and examine Massachusetts recent uses of its False Claims Act, and warn that “[s]uch a law could unfairly penalize contractors, causing them to incur significant costs to defend claims that may be subjective (but not fraudulent), risk losing prequalification status, or face suspension or debarment, any of which could jeopardize their businesses.”
