Establishes mandatory sentencing for Medicaid fraud in Michigan.
Michigan HB5909 amends the Medicaid false claim act to establish mandatory sentencing for certain crimes. The bill sets a minimum sentence of 2 years and 6 months and a maximum of 10 years, or a fine of up to $50,000, or both, for those found guilty of defrauding the state through false claims. This change applies to violations under the social welfare act, specifically targeting those who enter into agreements or conspiracies to obtain false payments.
