4 agency in the executive, legislative, or judicial branch
5 employing persons required to file under item (f) of Section
6 4A-101 shall certify to the Secretary of State the names and
7 mailing addresses of those persons, and (2) the chief

17 clerk shall mail to the State Board of Elections a true copy
18 of that listing showing those who have filed statements.
19 The county clerk of each county shall note upon the
20 alphabetical listing the names of all persons required to
21 file a statement of economic interests who failed to file a
22 statement on or before May 1. It shall be the duty of the
23 several county clerks to give notice as provided in Section
24 4A-105 to any person who has failed to file his or her
25 statement with the clerk on or before May 1.
26 Any person who files or has filed a statement of economic
27 interest under this Act is entitled to receive from the
28 Secretary of State or county clerk, as the case may be, a
29 receipt indicating that the person has filed such a
30 statement, the date of such filing, and the identity of the
31 governmental unit in relation to which the filing is
32 required.
33 The Secretary of State may employ such employees and
34 consultants as he considers necessary to carry out his duties
-4- LRB9000440MWcdam01
1 hereunder, and may prescribe their duties, fix their
2 compensation, and provide for reimbursement of their
3 expenses.

5 Section shall be available for examination and copying by the
6 public at all reasonable times. Each person examining a
7 statement must first fill out a form prepared by the
8 Secretary of State identifying the examiner by name,
9 occupation, address and telephone number, and listing the
10 date of examination and reason for such examination. The
11 Secretary of State shall supply such forms to the county
12 clerks annually and replenish such forms upon request.
13 The Secretary of State or county clerk, as the case may
14 be, shall promptly notify each person required to file a
15 statement under this Article of each instance of an
16 examination of his statement by sending him a duplicate
17 original of the identification form filled out by the person
