Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (40 ILCS 5/1-125)

    (a) For the purposes of this Section:
    "Gift" means a gift as defined in Section 1-5 of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act.
    "Prohibited source" means a person or entity who:
        (i) is seeking official action (A) by the board or
    
(B) by a board member;
        (ii) does business or seeks to do business (A) with
    
the board or (B) with a board member;
        (iii) has interests that may be substantially
    
affected by the performance or non-performance of the official duties of the board member; or
        (iv) is registered or required to be registered with
    
the Secretary of State under the Lobbyist Registration Act, except that an entity not otherwise a prohibited source does not become a prohibited source merely because a registered lobbyist is one of its members or serves on its board of directors.
    (b) No trustee or employee of a retirement system, pension fund, or investment board created under this Code shall intentionally solicit or accept any gift from any prohibited source as prescribed in Article 10 of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act.

For the purposes of this Section, references to "State employee" and "employee" in Article 10 of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act shall include a trustee or employee of a retirement system, pension fund, or investment board created under this Code.
    (c) A municipality may adopt or maintain policies or ordinances that are more restrictive than those set forth in this Section and may continue to follow any existing policies or ordinances that are more restrictive or are in addition to those set forth in this Section.
    (d) To the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with the provisions of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, the provisions of this Section control.
    (e) Violation of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor.
