Section 565.20  Purpose

Pursuant to Section 3A-30 of the Act [5 ILCS 420/3A-30], this Part shall apply to any appointees to a board, commission, authority, or task force authorized or created by State law or by executive order of the Governor, and to those persons notified by the Secretary of State of their requirement to file statements of economic interests pursuant to Section 4A-101 of the Act [5 ILCS 420/4A-101].  The purpose of this Part is to extend the filing deadline for statements of economic interests upon a showing of just cause as to why the form cannot be filed in a timely manner.  Persons granted filing extensions shall have 30 days from their original filing deadline in which to file forms without penalty, unless a longer extension is granted pursuant to Section 565.50 of this Part. In addition, the disclosure requirements for appointees are set forth in regard to State contracts and financial interests held by appointees and immediate family members of appointees.
