Will Election Changes Boost Anti-Fraud Efforts?

The late David Bowie sang about “ch-ch-ch-ch-changes” in his memorable rock song. This theme could define anti-fraud legislation in 2017. A new year always brings aspirations for success. Same with fraud fighters seeking new state laws clamping down on insurance swindlers. Several statehouses are opening this week, and anti-fraud bills already are being docketed for debate. All amid many ch-ch-ch-ch-changes in leadership this big election year. New state legislatures, governors and insurance commissioners have taken office. A new U.S. president and Congress could change the face of anti-fraud efforts.
