MEMORANDUM

Posted: August 8, 2013 11:20 AM
From: Senator Timothy J. Solobay
To: All Senate members
Subject: Allowing the Office of Attorney General to receive compensation for collection efforts
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that will allow the Office of Attorney General (OAG) to receive compensation for their efforts to collect debts of the Commonwealth.

Current law does not allow for compensation by the OAG, but does allow private collection agencies utilized by the OAG to charge the debtor for collection efforts. This legislation will allow the OAG to charge a small nominal fee to cover the costs incurred during their debt collection efforts. Currently, the costs incurred by the OAG for their debt collection efforts are not billed to the debtor, but paid by the taxpayer.



Introduced as SB1122
