A Minnesota couple stands accused of public assistance fraud three years after their young daughter’s choking death spurred a new state law requiring day care teachers to know CPR.
Justin and Jennifer Kozitza stood next to Gov. Mark Dayton in 2011 when he signed legislation creating Hannah’s Law. Their 4-year-old daughter choked on a grape at a day care center. An investigation revealed shortcomings in safety training requirements for day care staffers.
Last week the Kozitzas were charged with applying for public assistance they were not entitled to and collecting $2,332 for four months, from November 2013 to February 2014, the Mankato Free Press reported Thursday.
