22 | Sec. 4A-108. Internet-based systems of filing. | ||||||
23 | (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any | ||||||
24 | other law, the Secretary of State and county clerks are | ||||||
25 | authorized to institute an Internet-based system for the filing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of statements of economic interests in their offices. With | ||||||

5 | With respect to a Secretary of State system, the determination | ||||||
6 | to institute such a system shall be in the sole discretion of | ||||||
7 | the Secretary of State and shall meet the requirements set out | ||||||
8 | in this Section and those Sections of the State Officials and | ||||||
9 | Employees Ethics Act requiring ethics officer review prior to | ||||||
10 | filing. The system shall be capable of allowing an ethics | ||||||
11 | officer to approve a statement of economic interests and shall | ||||||
12 | include a means to amend a statement of economic interests. | ||||||
13 | When this Section does not modify or remove the requirements | ||||||
14 | set forth elsewhere in this Article, those requirements shall | ||||||
15 | apply to any system of Internet-based filing authorized by this | ||||||
16 | Section. When this Section does modify or remove the | ||||||
17 | requirements set forth elsewhere in this Article, the | ||||||
18 | provisions of this Section shall apply to any system of | ||||||
19 | Internet-based filing authorized by this Section. | ||||||
20 | (b) In any system of Internet-based filing of statements of | ||||||
21 | economic interests instituted by the Secretary of State or a | ||||||
22 | county clerk: | ||||||
23 | (1) Any filing of an Internet-based statement of | ||||||
24 | economic interests shall be the equivalent of the filing of | ||||||
25 | a verified, written statement of economic interests as | ||||||
26 | required by Section 4A-101 or 4A-101.5 and the equivalent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the filing of a verified, dated, and signed statement of | ||||||
2 | economic interests as required by Section 4A-103 4A-104 . | ||||||
3 | (2) The Secretary of State and county clerks who | ||||||
4 | institute a system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
5 | of economic interests shall establish a password-protected | ||||||
6 | website to receive the filings of such statements. A | ||||||
7 | website established under this Section shall set forth and | ||||||
8 | provide a means of responding to the items set forth in | ||||||
9 | Section 4A-103 4A-102 that are required of a person who | ||||||
10 | files a statement of economic interests with that officer. | ||||||
11 | A website established under this Section shall set forth | ||||||

13 | acknowledging filing. | ||||||
14 | (3) The times for the filing of statements of economic | ||||||
15 | interests set forth in Section 4A-105 shall be followed in | ||||||
16 | any system of Internet-based filing of statements of | ||||||
17 | economic interests; provided that a candidate for elective | ||||||
18 | office who is required to file a statement of economic | ||||||
19 | interests in relation to his or her candidacy pursuant to | ||||||
20 | Section 4A-105(a) shall receive a written or printed | ||||||
21 | receipt for his or her filing. | ||||||
22 | A candidate filing for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, | ||||||
23 | Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, | ||||||
24 | Comptroller, State Senate, or State House of | ||||||
25 | Representatives , Supreme Court Judge, appellate court | ||||||

2 | interests, but shall file his or her statement of economic | ||||||
3 | interests in a written or printed form and shall receive a | ||||||
4 | written or printed receipt for his or her filing. Annually, | ||||||
5 | the duly appointed ethics officer for each legislative | ||||||
6 | caucus shall certify to the Secretary of State whether his | ||||||
7 | or her caucus members will file their statements of | ||||||
8 | economic interests electronically or in a written or | ||||||
9 | printed format for that year. If the ethics officer for a | ||||||
10 | caucus certifies that the statements of economic interests | ||||||
11 | shall be written or printed, then members of the General | ||||||
12 | Assembly of that caucus shall not use the Internet to file | ||||||
13 | his or her statement of economic interests, but shall file | ||||||
14 | his or her statement of economic interests in a written or | ||||||
15 | printed form and shall receive a written or printed receipt | ||||||
16 | for his or her filing. If no certification is made by an | ||||||
17 | ethics officer for a legislative caucus, or if a member of | ||||||
18 | the General Assembly is not affiliated with a legislative | ||||||
19 | caucus, then the affected member or members of the General | ||||||
20 | Assembly may file their statements of economic interests | ||||||

23 | of Internet-based filing of statements of economic | ||||||
24 | interests, each person required to file such a statement is | ||||||
25 | to be notified in writing of his or her obligation to file | ||||||
26 | his or her statement of economic interests by way of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Internet-based system. If access to the website web site | ||||||
2 | requires a code or password, this information shall be | ||||||
3 | included in the notice prescribed by this paragraph. | ||||||
4 | (5) When a person required to file a statement of | ||||||
5 | economic interests has supplied the Secretary of State or a | ||||||
6 | county clerk, as applicable, with an email address for the | ||||||
7 | purpose of receiving notices under this Article by email, a | ||||||
8 | notice sent by email to the supplied email address shall be | ||||||
9 | the equivalent of a notice sent by first class mail, as set | ||||||
10 | forth in Section 4A-106 or 4A-106.5. A person who has | ||||||
11 | supplied such an email address shall notify the Secretary | ||||||
12 | of State or county clerk, as applicable, when his or her | ||||||
13 | email address changes or if he or she no longer wishes to | ||||||
14 | receive notices by email. | ||||||
15 | (6) If any person who is required to file a statement | ||||||
16 | of economic interests and who has chosen to receive notices | ||||||
17 | by email fails to file his or her statement by May 10, then | ||||||
18 | the Secretary of State or county clerk, as applicable, | ||||||
19 | shall send an additional email notice on that date, | ||||||
20 | informing the person that he or she has not filed and | ||||||
21 | describing the penalties for late filing and failing to | ||||||
22 | file. This notice shall be in addition to other notices | ||||||
23 | provided for in this Article. | ||||||
24 | (7) The Secretary of State and each county clerk who | ||||||
25 | institutes a system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
26 | of economic interests may also institute an Internet-based |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | process for the filing of the list of names and addresses | ||||||
2 | of persons required to file statements of economic | ||||||
3 | interests by the chief administrative officers that must | ||||||
4 | file such information with the Secretary of State or county | ||||||
5 | clerk, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4A-106 or | ||||||
6 | 4A-106.5. Whenever the Secretary of State or a county clerk | ||||||
7 | institutes such a system under this paragraph, every chief | ||||||
8 | administrative officer must use the system to file this | ||||||
9 | information. | ||||||
10 | (8) The Secretary of State and any county clerk who | ||||||
11 | institutes a system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
12 | of economic interests shall post the contents of such | ||||||
13 | statements filed with him or her available for inspection | ||||||
14 | and copying on a publicly accessible website. Such postings | ||||||
15 | shall not include the addresses or signatures of the | ||||||
16 | filers.
