If you are an employee of a religious institution, most likely you are still protected by the laws against discrimination – unless you fall within the ministerial exception. It is anticipated that SCOTUS is not done with the balancing of religious freedom and civil rights.
District of Columbia False Claims Act Expanded to Tax Claims Wednesday, March 10, 2021
On January 13, 2021, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser signed the False Claims Amendment Act of 2020 (the “Amendment”),
1 which expanded liability under the D.C. False Claims Act (“D.C. FCA”) to include tax-related claims. Such tax-related claims include false tax returns that understate tax liability or seek a tax refund.
2 The Amendment is subject to the Congressional 30-day review period, currently underway, and is expected to go in effect in March 2021.
3 The Amendment aims to increase revenue for the District of Columbia by enabling the D.C. attorney general to bring a new category of D.C. FCA cases, clearly signaling the District of Columbia’s intent to avail itself of the Amendment, particularly in the wake of the harsh financial impacts of COVID-19 on the district.
