Title 17b - Social Services
Chapter 319v - Medical Assistance
Section 17b-301h - Civil action by individual who committed prohibited act re medical assistance. Reduction of proceeds. Dismissal from action.
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17b-301e and 17b-301f, if the court finds that the action was brought by a person who planned and initiated the violation of subsection (a) of section 17b-301b, upon which violation an action was brought, then the court may reduce the share of the proceeds of the action that the person would otherwise receive under section 17b-301e or 17b-301f, taking into account the role of that person in advancing the case to litigation and any relevant circumstances pertaining to the violation. If a person bringing the action is convicted of criminal conduct arising from his or her role in the violation of subsection (a) of section 17b-301b, such person shall be dismissed from the civil action and shall not receive any share of the proceeds of the action. Such dismissal shall not prejudice the right of the Attorney General to continue the action.
