Sec. 4A-106. Persons filing statements with Secretary of State; notice; certification of list of names; alphabetical list; receipt; examination and copying of statements. The statements of economic interests required of persons
listed in
Section 4A-101 shall be
filed with the Secretary of State. On or before February 1
annually, the chief administrative officer of any State agency in the
executive, legislative, or judicial branch employing persons required to file
under item (f) or item (l) of Section
4A-101 and the chief administrative officer of a board or panel described in item (n) or (p) of Section 4A-101 shall certify to the Secretary of State the names and mailing addresses
of those persons. In preparing the lists, each chief
administrative officer, or his or her designee, shall set out the names in
alphabetical order.
On or before April 1 annually, the Secretary of State shall notify (1)
all persons whose names have been certified to him under items (f),
(l), (n), and (p) of
Section 4A-101, and (2) all persons described in items (a) through (e) and
item (j) of Section 4A-101, other than candidates for office who have filed
their statements with their nominating petitions, of the requirements for
filing statements of economic interests.
A person required to file with the Secretary of State by virtue of more than
one position as listed in Section 4A-101, and filing his or her statement of economic interests in writing, rather than through the Internet-based system,
shall be notified of and is
required
to file only one statement of economic interests relating to all items under
which the person is required to file with the Secretary of State.
Except as provided in Section 4A-106.1, the notices provided for in this
Section shall be in writing and deposited in
the U.S. Mail, properly addressed, first class postage prepaid, on or before
the day required by this Section for the sending of the notice. A certificate
executed by the Secretary of State attesting that he or she has sent
the notice by the means permitted by this Section constitutes prima facie evidence thereof.
Any person who files or has filed a statement of economic interest
under this Section is entitled to receive from the Secretary of State a receipt indicating that the person has filed
such a statement, the date of such filing, and the identity of the
governmental unit or units in relation to which the filing is required.
The Secretary of State may employ such employees and consultants
as he considers necessary to carry out his duties hereunder, and may
prescribe their duties, fix their compensation, and provide for
reimbursement of their expenses.
All statements of economic interests filed under this Section shall be
available for examination and copying by the public at all reasonable times.
Not later than 12 months after the effective date of this amendatory Act of
the 93rd General Assembly, beginning with statements filed in calendar year
2004, the Secretary of State shall make statements of economic interests filed
with the Secretary available for inspection and copying via the Secretary's
website.
