Clerk: State shifts economic-interest forms to online portal; county forwarding outstanding e-mails

Richard Woods, the McLeansboro Township Clerk, told the board that the state has discontinued manually completed Economic Interest Forms and has moved those filings to an online portal.

Woods said individuals "will need a personal e-mail address" to access the portal and that he would forward outstanding e-mails to the County Clerk's office so forms already in process can be handled. The minutes record the change as an operational detail the township will need to accommodate going forward.

The notice was presented as part of the board's routine new business; the minutes do not specify a statutory citation or the state agency that implemented the change, and they do not record any formal motion or vote tied to the announcement.
