Minnesota has added new powers to lodge civil actions against insurance fraudsters and kick swindlers out of the insurance system, the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud announced. The strong anti-fraud measures became law when Gov. Mark Dayton signed a larger omnibus bill containing the provisions into law Sunday. "These powers will add teeth to the state’s anti-fraud effort by injecting penalties that can empty the wallets of swindlers who try to rip off the insurance system,” said Howard Goldblatt, the Coalition’s director of government affairs.
