2015 Report to the Attorney General Op. Ill. Att'y Gen. [1] (2016)

handle is hein.sag/sagil0136 and id is 1 raw text is: STATE OF ILLINOIS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL LISA MADIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL January 29, 2016 Honorable Timothy D. Mapes a Clerk of the House C.. r- 402 Capitol Building Springfield, IL 62706 rn - Dear Clerk Mapes: co I have set forth on the enclosed page collection statistics for the Attorney General's Office for calendar year 2015 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 $319,934,614.00. 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' 2015 share of the proceeds of the settlement of the litigation instituted by this Office against the tobacco industry, which totaled $265,106,131.00. Likewise, these statistics do not include the Illinois Estate Tax which is administered directly by the Attorney General. During 2015, the Office issued 1,374 certificates of tax determination and discharge reflecting estate tax revenues in the amount of $340,873,774.00. Also not reported is the $52.5 million that Illinois pension systems received from a settlement with Standard & Poor's for misrepresentations about the processes it used to assign credit ratings to mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, Illinois received $4,868,000.00 as the final payment from the 2012 settlement with Actavis, in the Average Wholesale Price litigation, which alleged that this company 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 Attorney General in 2015 total $983,282,519.00. Sincerely, Lisa Madigan Enclosure
