when ever, if ever, they put out the final draft

thought about running it by FB factcuckers, but they have been staying clear of me or shadowing me since I refuted and smashed several of their propaganda lies, never know with those idiots lol

well apparently it is passed and known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, now have to read thru the pdf and bureaucraticspeak

@DMcCreery1956 an amendment to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ~ Senate Bill 2428 the False Claims Act Amendments of 2021 ----> On August 10, 2021, the Senate passed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It funds roads, bridges, and broadband. But as a result of a last-minute lobbying blitz sponsored by lobbyists for businesses that will profit from the over $1 trillion in anticipated federal spending, an essential whistleblower oversight amendment was killed. A win for fraudsters. A loss for the taxpayers. Here is what happened.

Senate Bill 2428, the False Claims Act Amendments of 2021, was designed to fix the negative impact of a series of court decisions that undercut the effectiveness of the nation’s most effective whistleblower law, the False Claims Act (FCA), and its qui tam whistleblower provisions. Due in large part to numerous court decisions, making it harder to prove fraud in government spending, in 2020, the amount of recoveries in FCA and whistleblower qui tam lawsuits hit a ten-year low. For example, in 2016, the federal government collected $4.9 billion from fraudsters under the FCA. That amount dropped over 50% to just $2.2 billion in 2020. This drop in successful recoveries occurred as federal spending was skyrocketing in response to the Pandemic.

To fix this problem, a bipartisan group of senators, including Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt), John Kennedy (R-La), Durbin (D-Ill) and Wicker (R-Miss), introduced simple and common sense amendments to the FCA. These amendments were designed to correct the worst abuses caused by narrow judicial precedents. They included protections against blacklisting whistleblowers, a limit on the government’s ability to dismiss whistleblower lawsuits without any due process, and changes to the standard of proof that was permitting government contractors, drug companies, and hospitals from profiting after it was demonstrated that they knowingly violated the law or their contractual requirements.
