Yesterday the House Judiciary Committee approved legislation to amend the False Claims Act, sending the measure along to be voted on by the full House of Representatives. Companion legislation (S.2041) was passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in April.

The False Claims Act Corrections Act will help undo some of the damage that has been done to the FCA in recent years by poor judiciary decisions, such as Allison Engine v. US.

I will post the full text of the approved language as soon as it becomes available.
