Increase the statute limitations for crimes involving medical assistance fraud or other theft of money belonging to the government

Summary

The bill amends Minnesota’s limitation statutes so that fraud or theft involving public money, such as medical assistance fraud, can be prosecuted up to ten years after the offense instead of the shorter periods that currently apply. It takes effect on August 1 2026 and also covers earlier crimes whose limitation period had not yet expired. This gives prosecutors a longer window to bring charges against misuse of government funds.
