2014 Report to the Attorney General Op. Ill. Att'y Gen. [1] (2014)

handle is hein.sag/sagil0135 and id is 1 raw text is: STATE OF ILLINOIS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL January 30, 2015 LISA MADIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL Honorable Tim Mapes Clerk of the House 300 Capitol Building Springfield, IL 62706 Dear Clerk Mapes: I have set forth on the enclosed page collection statistics for the Attorney General's Office for calendar year 2014 as required by §2 of the Uncollected State Claims Act (30 ILCS 205/2). These statistics reflect cases referred to this Office by other agencies for collection. These cases involve a variety of receivables, including taxes, damage to State property, child support, unpaid educational loans, fines, and penalties. Collections for these receivables totaled $344,803,917.92. The attached statistics, however, do not reflect a number of important collection activities of the Attorney General's Office that do not originate with cases referred by other agencies. For example, they do not include Illinois' 2014 share of the proceeds of the settlement of the litigation instituted by this Office against the tobacco industry, which totaled $306,880,465.89. Likewise, these statistics do not include the Illinois Estate Tax which is administered directly by the Attorney General. During 2014, the Office issued 1,115 certificates of tax determination and discharge reflecting estate tax revenues in the amount of $317,601,930.26. Additionally, due to the settlements with Citigroup and Bank of America, the State will recover $244,000,000.00 in losses incurred by Illinois' pension systems as a result of the banks' misconduct. And as a result of settlements with Actavis, Mylan, Sandoz and Par pharmaceutical companies, the State recovered $120,425,312.00 in the Average Wholesale Price litigation which alleged that these companies engaged in Medicaid fraud by charging inflated prices for prescription drugs. When the totals from these latter categories are added to the numbers described in paragraph one, the combined collections for the Office of the Attomey General in 2014 total $1,333,711,626.07. Sincerely, Lisa Madigan Enclosure
