Revolving Door

REVOLVING DOOR PROHIBITION
The revolving door prohibition applies to identified officers, board members, state employees, or immediate family members living with such persons who, within a period of one year immediately after termination of State employment or appointment, knowingly accept employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a person or entity if the State employee/appointee, during the year immediately preceding termination of State employment:

1. Participated substantially in awarding the vendor a contract for services or issuance of change orders with a cumulative value of $25,000 or more.
2. Was involved with a regulatory or licensure decision that directly applied to the person or entity. For individuals in positions identified as being subject to the revolving door prohibitions, there is a determination process through the Inspector General's Office that may allow the otherwise prohibited employment or compensation. Please note there is no exception or determination process for the President, Chief Procurement Officer, and appointed members of the Board of Trustees due to the nature of their State positions; they are strictly prohibited from revolving door employment. If you have any questions regarding the revolving door prohibition, you should contact your University Ethics Officer or see the Executive Inspector General's website at: www.inspectorgeneral.illinois.gov.

If an Employee is found to be in violation of the revolving door prohibitions, a fine of up to three times the total compensation that would have been obtained may be levied.
