(1) Place information, evidence, and documents applicable to the accounts receivable or unaccounted for property in the hands of the appropriate State Attorney for action he may deem proper; or(2) Assign the accounts receivable to a collection agency; or(3) Certify the accounts receivable or unaccounted for property to the Department of Legal Affairs to be prosecuted by the Department of Legal Affairs.
