Provides that in the case of an action by a private person brought on behalf of an entity, the State's Attorney shall have primary jurisdiction. Requires the State's Attorney to refer the matter to the Attorney General within 60 days of receiving the complaint if the State's Attorney declines involvement in the action. Provides that for any matter that is referred to the Attorney General by the State's Attorney, the Attorney General shall act in the same manner as if the action was brought on behalf of the State of Illinois or an agency of the State. Provides that the Attorney General may delegate authority to use subpoenas to the Department of State Police or, if the county State's Attorney is acting instead of the Attorney General, then to the county sheriff.
