SPRINGFIELD – Governor Bruce Rauner signed Executive Order 15-09 today, which tightens ethical requirements for all state employees to ensure they adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and impartiality while working for the people of Illinois.
“Business as usual is over in Illinois and we need to regain the trust of the taxpayers,” Gov. Rauner said. “Today, we are showing the State of Illinois we have learned our lessons and are changing.”
Executive Order 15-09 bans the revolving door of executive branch and state agency employees from negotiating for a new position with a lobbyist or lobbying entity while employed. It also restricts former employees from accepting positions as a paid lobbyist or with a lobbying entity for one year after leaving their position.
