Law for Justice

Feeling safe in your own home, neighborhood, local store, park and streets should be expected.  Unfortunately there are times when you and your family’s safety and trust is threatened and as your next Prosecutor you can expect Rep. David Law to prosecute these crimes to the fullest extent.  Rep. Law has been the primary sponsor of the House Bills and Public Announcements listed below and will continue to be tough on crime once in the Prosecutor’s Office.

HB 4528 (PA 35 of 05)

• Law to eliminate the statute of limitations for conspiracy to commit murder.  Originated from a case in Oakland County and worked with the Prosecutor's office on it.

HB 4577 (PA 337 of 05)- Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act (Qui Tam)

• Worked with Attorney General Cox on this effort to provide whistleblower protection and financial incentives to individuals who have knowledge of Medicaid fraud.  The Legislature has a follow up bill (5216 of 07) that will bring Michigan into compliance with the Federal DRA.  This would result in millions of more federal healthcare dollars going to Michigan, with just a minor technical change to the statute.

• Allow law enforcement to place forfeiture funds in interest bearing accounts for security purposes, as well as additional funding earmarked for law enforcement.
