Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Attorney General: For the Year Ending June 30, 1995 The Business and Labor Protection Bureau was created in April 1995 by joining various existing divisions and units within the Criminal Bureau to be parts of the new entity. The Bureau consists of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the Fair Labor Business Practices Division, the Division of Employment and Training and the Insurance Fraud Division (which was separated and transferred from the continuing Economics Crime Division of the Criminal Bureau). It brings together these Divisions because they share common criminal and civil enforcement responsibilities to establish a level playing field in the economic sector for businesses and individuals alike. The Divisions interact extensively with public and private insurers, providers, employers, and labor organizations in their efforts to achieve this goal. The Business and Labor Protection Bureau coordinates the diverse practices of its Divisions to target fraudulent business activities. Such activities result in a fraud tax which unfairly increases the costs and expenses of honest businesses, insurance policy holders and taxpayers in Massachusetts. The unscrupulous activities that those who break the law pursue in order to fuel this fraud tax include casualty and workers compensation insurance fraud, failure to pay mandated wages, health care fraud and unemployment insurance fraud. The new Bureau intends to tap the legal and investigative resources available from all of its Divisions, each of which are experienced in the areas of fraud prosecution, in order to maximize its overall impact and effectiveness. Investigations of fraud in one area will result in further examinations of potential fraud from all angles. Therefore, for example, if a complaint is received by the Bureau for a prevailing wage violation, the investigation ultimately will include a thorough review of all of the company's payroll and financial records to detect and determine whether there has been tax and insurance fraud as well. In June, 1995, the Business Labor Protection Bureau moved all of its Divisions to new facilities at 200 Portland Street, Boston. The Bureau also maintains offices for its attorneys and personnel in Springfield. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
