Ethics Act Requirements - The State Officials and Employees Ethics Act contains restrictions regarding many aspects of a State employee's conduct including those relating to the receipt of gifts, future employment opportunities, and political involvement. Please review the Act in order to become more familiar with the limitations and restrictions placed upon State employees.

Procurement Restrictions - The Illinois Procurement Code sets forth certain requirements with regard to all State procurements.
