What it does
Amends false claims to the State statute by increasing penalties to maintain consistency with the federal False Claims Act and in order to comply with the federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990. Consistency will enable the State of Hawaii to receive a larger share of recoveries where parallel federal and state false claims cases produce penalties that are shared by the federal and state governments. Failure to maintain consistency could result in the State receiving a smaller share than would be permitted under the present model.
