Civil procedure: civil actions; false claims act; enact. Creates new act.

House Bill 4327 proposes a new "false claims act" to establish civil penalties and remedies against individuals or entities that knowingly present false or fraudulent claims to obtain money, property, or services from the state or local governments. The bill defines what constitutes a false claim and outlines specific prohibited acts, such as making false records or conspiring to defraud. It imposes civil penalties ranging from $6,000 to $12,000, plus up to three times the damages sustained by the government. The bill also includes provisions to protect individuals who report such false claims and allows private citizens to initiate actions under certain circumstances.
