OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY 0 ENERAL
LISA MADIGAN
ATTORNEY GENERAL                  January 30, 2014
Honorable Tim Mapes
Clerk of the House
402 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 2013 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 $374,508,164.26.
The attached statistics 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, however. For
example, they do not include Illinois' 2013 share of the proceeds of the settlement of the litigation
instituted by this Office against the tobacco industry, which totaled $273,596,620.16. Likewise,
these statistics do not include the Illinois Estate Tax which is administered directly by the Attorney
General. During 2013, the Office issued 1,252 certificates of tax determination and discharge
reflecting estate tax revenues in the amount of $243,564,994.49. Additionally, due to the settlement
with J.P. Morgan, the State will recover $100,911,813.41 in losses incurred by Illinois' pension
systems as a result of the bank's misconduct. 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 2013 total $992,581,592.32.
Sincerely,
Lisa Madigan
Enclosure
