State Of IL Attorney General

State of Illinois Attorney General is a state government entity registered in SAM.gov since April 2004, operating as a child entity of the State of Illinois. The organization serves as a prime recipient of federal grant awards and provides specialized law enforcement and prosecutorial services to the federal government, primarily through grants administered by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services. As the chief law enforcement officer for the State of Illinois, the Attorney General's Office focuses on protecting state residents and maintaining the integrity of critical public systems through federal grant-supported initiatives that enhance investigative and prosecutorial capabilities across multiple criminal justice domains.

The State of Illinois Attorney General has demonstrated substantial federal grant funding activity across several specialized practice areas. Most prominently, the office has received recurring Formula Grant funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program (CFDA 93.775), with awards totaling approximately $3.1 million annually to investigate and prosecute Medicaid provider fraud and patient abuse or neglect in healthcare and board and care facilities. Additionally, the organization has received Project Grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, including a $1.5 million Conviction Integrity Unit grant (active through September 2026) focused on post-conviction DNA testing and investigation of wrongful convictions, and a combined $1.294 million in hate crimes training and awareness grants (active through September 2026) to enhance law enforcement and prosecutorial response to bias-motivated crimes through specialized curriculum development and training delivery in partnership with community-based organizations and civil rights groups. The Attorney General's Office also administers Cooperative Agreements with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for its Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force program, which provides investigative, prosecutorial, forensic, and educational services to combat child exploitation and online predation through proactive undercover operations, reactive investigations, law enforcement training, and public awareness initiatives. Previously, the office held a Project Grant from the Office on Violence Against Women for the Rural Sexual Response Team program, which addressed domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in rural Illinois communities. These diverse grant programs demonstrate the Attorney General's extensive experience in administering federal funding to support specialized investigations, prosecution, training, and victim support services across multiple criminal justice priorities.
