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

Summary

The bill amends Minnesota’s criminal limitations law to allow prosecutors to bring charges for theft of public money up to 15 years after the offense, instead of the current shorter period. It applies to crimes involving state or local government funds, such as medical assistance fraud, and takes effect on August 1, 2026. The change also clarifies that the new period applies to offenses committed before that date if the prior deadline had not yet passed.
