Proposed amendments to the False Claims Act were reported favorably out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 3, according to Federal Times.
The bill, S 2041, sponsored by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, would strengthen the False Claims Act, which has been weakened by a series of court decisions that limited both the ability of whistleblowers to file lawsuits and their ability to recover claims.
