Request for Revolving Door Determination 

The law requires certain current and former state employees to notify the OEIG when offered employment or compensation from a non-state employer so that the OEIG can determine, within 10 calendar days of receiving a completed request, if accepting the employment or compensation is prohibited by law. 

State Employees or former State Employees filing a revolving door request:

  • Fill out Form RD-101. Return a completed and signed copy to the OEIG via one of the methods below:

By email: oig.revolvingdoor@Illinois.gov

Or via US Mail or In-Person drop off:  
Office of Executive Inspector General 
Attn: Revolving Door Determinations 
69 West Washington Street, Suite 3400 
Chicago, IL 60602

  • Provide a copy of the RD-101 to your Ethics Officer immediately.

  • Provide a copy of the RD-103 to your prospective employer.

Ethics Officers 

The Ethics Officer must fill out (RD-102), sign it, and return it to the state employee or former state employee, or email it directly to the OEIG at oig.revolvingdoor@Illinois.gov within 5 calendar days after having received the RD-101 notification from the employee or former employee.

Prospective Employer

Fill out an (RD-103) for the prospective employee to submit with their revolving door request or send directly to the OEIG via one of the methods listed above.

NOTE: The Revolving Door forms (RD-101, RD-102, and RD-103) are in Adobe PDF format and Adobe Acrobat Reader is necessary for viewing and completing the forms electronically. We highly recommend saving the form before filling it out because you will need to print the completed form, sign it manually, and then send it to the OEIG.​​

The OEIG is required to make a determination within 10 calendar days after receiving the RD-101 and RD-102.  If the RD-102 is not received within 5 days of the filing of an RD-101, the 10-day clock then begins to run. Though the RD-103 is not mandatory, the OEIG strongly recommends timely submission of a form RD-103, as the additional information could assist the OEIG when assessing your request.

When making a determination, the OEIG needs to quickly obtain information regarding any working relationship the prospective employer may have with your state agency such as funding or payments made or licensing or regulating actions. In addition, the OEIG often needs to assess your state job duties and how you may have interacted with your prospective employer. The OEIG typically obtains this information from you, your Ethics Officer, supervisors, subordinates, or coworkers.  In addition, the OEIG may request documents from your state agency, such as relevant contracts, grants, or documentation of licensing / regulatory decisions.

Once a determination has been made, whether favorable or not, the OEIG will send a determination letter to the person making the request, and to the appropriate ultimate jurisdictional authority, the Attorney General, and the Executive Ethics Commission. 

If the OEIG has issued a restricted determination letter, the recipient can appeal this determination to the EEC within 10 calendar days of receiving the letter. Please contact the EEC via email at EEC@illinois.gov for further instructions on how to appeal an OEIG determination. 

Please be aware, however, that the Attorney General's office also has 10 calendar days to appeal an OEIG revolving door determination, whether it was restricted or not. 

For more information regarding the appeal process please make inquires to the Executive Ethics Commission at EEC@illinois.gov.
