Statute of limitations for crimes involving medical assistance fraud or other theft of money belonging to the government increased.

Summary

The bill amends Minnesota’s statute of limitations, lengthening the period for prosecuting certain fraud and theft offenses—especially those involving public money such as medical‑assistance fraud—to ten years.
