Sec. 8A-1.
Legislative Intent.
Because of the pervasive nature of public
assistance fraud and its negative effect on the people of the State of Illinois

it to be public policy that public assistance fraud be identified and dealt
with swiftly and appropriately considering the onerous nature of the crime.
