Revolving Door Instructions and Forms

The Illinois “Revolving Door” statute (5 ILCS 430/5-45) prohibits certain state employees or former state employees (or his or her spouse or immediate family member) from accepting employment or compensation from a non-state employer if the state employee, in the past year, made regulatory/licensing decisions or awarded contracts affecting the non-state employer. The law also 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, if accepting the employment or compensation is prohibited by law. The time period begins to run when the OEIG receives both the RD-101 and the RD-102 form. Revolving Door Forms (RD-101, RD-102 and RD-103) allow the OEIG to determine whether an employee may accept a particular employment offer or compensation.

The ethics officer and prospective employer may return their forms directly to the OEIG or to you to submit to the OEIG. The OEIG is required to make a determination within 10 calendar days of receiving notification from the State employee or former State employee. Though the form 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 application.
