Economic Disclosure Statements—Clerk's Certified List—The "Governmental Ethics Act" requires the municipal clerk to provide the Secretary of State with a list of those persons required to file statements of economic interest. The list must be certified not less than 60 days before the May 1 due date for filing the statements. This requirement is found in chapter 127, paragraph 604A-106, which provides in pertinent part as follows:

"Not less than 60 days before the due date for filing such statements, annually, (1) the State Comptroller shall certify to the Secretary of State a list of the names and mailing addresses of the persons described in item (f) of Section 4A-101, and (2) the clerk or secretary of each school district, unit of local government, special district or other governmental entity described in items (g), (h) and (i) of Section 4A-101 shall certify to the Secretary of State a list of the names and residence addresses of such persons described in these items (g), (h) and (i) as are required to file because of their relationship to the entity represented by the clerk or secretary. In preparing such lists, each such clerk or secretary shall set out the names in alphabetical order, by county of residence, and shall file a copy of such list with the appropriate county clerk."
