The Draconian EKRA Statute Settlements
While we previously noted the arrival of the draconian EKRA statute, passed in dark of night, enforcement has begun. Among the earliest settlements announced by the Department of Justice was a conspiracy to broker patients to recovery centers. While we don't think our clients would engage in such activities, the point of reporting these settlements and guilty pleas is that the government will enforce and whistleblowers are likely to pay attention to the less scandalous challenges this law presents to otherwise law abiding providers.
