The Macoupin County Clerk’s office accepts and stores Statements of Economic Interest filed by persons involved in government in Macoupin County (Illinois Governmental Ethics Act, 5 ILCS 420 / 4A-101).

Changes to the Statement of Economic Interest Form Questions:
In 2021, the Illinois State Legislature passed changes to the statement of economic interest and the questions on them. The county did not request or make the changes to the questions. While the Macoupin County Clerk’s office cannot provide any legal advice to filers on what information should or should not be disclosed, we have provided an informational document which includes statutory definitions found in the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act as well as a sheet from the University of Illinois on answering the new questions.
