HJR 1029 Colorado House · 2026 Regular Session

Investigate Alleged Violations of False Claims Act

This bill requests an independent investigation into alleged violations of Colorado's False Claims Act, which penalize fraudulent claims submitted to the state. It argues that the current Colorado Attorney General and Department of Law have conflicts of interest preventing impartial enforcement. Consequently, the bill asks the U.S. Department of Justice to assign a different office to investigate and designates an attorney general from another state to lead the case using existing state funds. Additionally, it calls for the creation of a joint legislative committee to oversee the implementation of these investigative steps.
