Senate Judiciary Hearing on FCA On February 27, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on S.2041, the FCA Correction Act. This bill has strong bipartisan support from Senators Grassley, Durbin, Leahy and Specter. The bill would:
4 Clarify that FCA liability occurs whenever Federal money is being misspent, even when the claim is presented to a primary contractor by a subcontractor rather than directly to a government employee;
4 Clarifies the U.S. Government has the exclusive right to determine if a whistleblower is the original source of information under the "public disclosure" bar;
4 Clarifies that funds under the trust and control of the U.S. Government are subject to recovery under the False Claims Act;
4 Clarifies that government employees may act as qui tam relators in limited circumstances;
4 Makes technical and clarifying amendments to the statute of limitations in FCA cases, as well as technical edits to the Civil Investigative Demands authorized under the current False Claims Act.
