Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has asked the state’s legislators to enact a False Claims Act. A special legislative session is starting and Blumenthal thinks the legislature should take this opportunity to pass an act, modeled on the federal False Claims Act, that would allow citizens reporting fraud to receive a portion of the damages.
Stamfordplus.com says that Blumenthal also advocates strengthening whistleblower protections.
