Background
The General Assembly recently passed Chapter 206 of the Public Acts of 2007 known as the “Local Government Instances of Fraud Reporting Act.” This act provides that public officials “with knowledge based upon available information which reasonably causes him/her to believe that a theft, forgery, credit card fraud, or any other act of the unlawful taking of public money, property, or services has occurred shall report such information in a reasonable amount of time to the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury.”
For purposes of this act, Chapter 206 defines “public entity,” “public official,” “reasonable amount of time,” and “unlawful conduct.”
Provisions
The act provides that “The comptroller shall have the power to prescribe the method of making such reports.”
