Expands revenue sources for the Medical Assistance Programs Fraud Detection Fund to include all recoveries, fines, and penalties from any state entity related to medical assistance programs, including sanctions against providers and managed care organizations (after federal share, excluding third party liability and estate recoveries)

Changes fund allocation from a fixed 50/50 split to first fully funding the Medicaid fraud control unit within the Attorney General's office, then splitting remaining funds 50% to that unit and 50% to the Louisiana Department of Health program integrity section

Caps the fund balance at $20 million; any collections exceeding this cap must be used to fund medical assistance programs

Removes previously specified allowable uses (paying litigation costs, fraud prevention activities, whistleblower rewards, emergency revenue) and limits fund use solely to funding the fraud control unit and program integrity section
