25 | Sec. 4A-108. Internet-based systems of filing. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any | ||||||
2 | other law, the Secretary of State and county clerks are | ||||||
3 | authorized to institute an Internet-based system for the | ||||||
4 | filing of statements of economic interests in their offices. | ||||||
5 | With respect to county clerk systems, the determination to | ||||||
6 | institute such a system shall be in the sole discretion of the | ||||||
7 | county clerk and shall meet the requirements set out in this | ||||||
8 | Section. With respect to a Secretary of State system, the | ||||||
9 | determination to institute such a system shall be in the sole | ||||||
10 | discretion of the Secretary of State and shall meet the | ||||||
11 | requirements set out in this Section and those Sections of the | ||||||
12 | State Officials and Employees Ethics Act requiring ethics | ||||||
13 | officer review prior to filing. The system shall be capable of | ||||||
14 | allowing an ethics officer to approve a statement of economic | ||||||
15 | interests and shall include a means to amend a statement of | ||||||
16 | economic interests. When this Section does not modify or | ||||||
17 | remove the requirements set forth elsewhere in this Article, | ||||||
18 | those requirements shall apply to any system of Internet-based | ||||||
19 | filing authorized by this Section. When this Section does | ||||||
20 | modify or remove the requirements set forth elsewhere in this | ||||||
21 | Article, the provisions of this Section shall apply to any | ||||||
22 | system of Internet-based filing authorized by this Section. | ||||||
23 | (b) In any system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
24 | of economic interests instituted by the Secretary of State or | ||||||
25 | a county clerk: | ||||||
26 | (1) Any filing of an Internet-based statement of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | economic interests shall be the equivalent of the filing | ||||||
2 | of a verified, written statement of economic interests as | ||||||
3 | required by Section 4A-101 or 4A-101.5 and the equivalent | ||||||
4 | of the filing of a verified, dated, and signed statement | ||||||
5 | of economic interests as required by Section 4A-103 | ||||||
6 | 4A-104 . | ||||||
7 | (2) The Secretary of State and county clerks who | ||||||
8 | institute a system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
9 | of economic interests shall establish a password-protected | ||||||
10 | website to receive the filings of such statements. A | ||||||
11 | website established under this Section shall set forth and | ||||||
12 | provide a means of responding to the items set forth in | ||||||
13 | Section 4A-103 4A-102 that are required of a person who | ||||||
14 | files a statement of economic interests with that officer. | ||||||
15 | A website established under this Section shall set forth | ||||||
16 | and provide a means of generating a printable receipt page | ||||||
17 | acknowledging filing. | ||||||
18 | (3) The times for the filing of statements of economic | ||||||
19 | interests set forth in Section 4A-105 shall be followed in | ||||||
20 | any system of Internet-based filing of statements of | ||||||
21 | economic interests; provided that a candidate for elective | ||||||
22 | office who is required to file a statement of economic | ||||||
23 | interests in relation to his or her candidacy pursuant to | ||||||
24 | Section 4A-105(a) shall receive a written or printed | ||||||
25 | receipt for his or her filing. | ||||||
26 | A candidate filing for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, | ||||||
2 | Comptroller, State Senate, or State House of | ||||||
3 | Representatives shall not use the Internet to file his or | ||||||
4 | her statement of economic interests, but shall file his or | ||||||
5 | her statement of economic interests in a written or | ||||||
6 | printed form and shall receive a written or printed | ||||||
7 | receipt for his or her filing. Annually, the duly | ||||||
8 | appointed ethics officer for each legislative caucus shall | ||||||
9 | certify to the Secretary of State whether his or her | ||||||
10 | caucus members will file their statements of economic | ||||||
11 | interests electronically or in a written or printed format | ||||||
12 | for that year. If the ethics officer for a caucus | ||||||
13 | certifies that the statements of economic interests shall | ||||||
14 | be written or printed, then members of the General | ||||||
15 | Assembly of that caucus shall not use the Internet to file | ||||||
16 | his or her statement of economic interests, but shall file | ||||||
17 | his or her statement of economic interests in a written or | ||||||
18 | printed form and shall receive a written or printed | ||||||
19 | receipt for his or her filing. If no certification is made | ||||||
20 | by an ethics officer for a legislative caucus, or if a | ||||||
21 | member of the General Assembly is not affiliated with a | ||||||
22 | legislative caucus, then the affected member or members of | ||||||
23 | the General Assembly may file their statements of economic | ||||||
24 | interests using the Internet. | ||||||
25 | (4) In the first year of the implementation of a | ||||||
26 | system of Internet-based filing of statements of economic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | interests, each person required to file such a statement | ||||||
2 | is to be notified in writing of his or her obligation to | ||||||
3 | file his or her statement of economic interests by way of | ||||||
4 | the Internet-based system. If access to the website web | ||||||
5 | site requires a code or password, this information shall | ||||||
6 | be included in the notice prescribed by this paragraph. | ||||||
7 | (5) When a person required to file a statement of | ||||||
8 | economic interests has supplied the Secretary of State or | ||||||
9 | a county clerk, as applicable, with an email address for | ||||||
10 | the purpose of receiving notices under this Article by | ||||||
11 | email, a notice sent by email to the supplied email | ||||||
12 | address shall be the equivalent of a notice sent by first | ||||||
13 | class mail, as set forth in Section 4A-106 or 4A-106.5. A | ||||||
14 | person who has supplied such an email address shall notify | ||||||
15 | the Secretary of State or county clerk, as applicable, | ||||||
16 | when his or her email address changes or if he or she no | ||||||
17 | longer wishes to receive notices by email. | ||||||
18 | (6) If any person who is required to file a statement | ||||||
19 | of economic interests and who has chosen to receive | ||||||
20 | notices by email fails to file his or her statement by May | ||||||
21 | 10, then the Secretary of State or county clerk, as | ||||||
22 | applicable, shall send an additional email notice on that | ||||||
23 | date, informing the person that he or she has not filed and | ||||||
24 | describing the penalties for late filing and failing to | ||||||
25 | file. This notice shall be in addition to other notices | ||||||
26 | provided for in this Article. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (7) The Secretary of State and each county clerk who | ||||||
2 | institutes a system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
3 | of economic interests may also institute an Internet-based | ||||||
4 | process for the filing of the list of names and addresses | ||||||
5 | of persons required to file statements of economic | ||||||
6 | interests by the chief administrative officers that must | ||||||
7 | file such information with the Secretary of State or | ||||||
8 | county clerk, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4A-106 or | ||||||
9 | 4A-106.5. Whenever the Secretary of State or a county | ||||||
10 | clerk institutes such a system under this paragraph, every | ||||||
11 | chief administrative officer must use the system to file | ||||||
12 | this information. | ||||||
13 | (8) The Secretary of State and any county clerk who | ||||||
14 | institutes a system of Internet-based filing of statements | ||||||
15 | of economic interests shall post the contents of such | ||||||
16 | statements filed with him or her available for inspection | ||||||
17 | and copying on a publicly accessible website. Such | ||||||
18 | postings shall not include the addresses or signatures of | ||||||
19 | the filers.
