Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
<div>In December 2009, attorney members of ALAW introduced to the mcHenry County Board, an ordinance designed to restore the public trust in county officials by requiring more extensive disclosure of assets that required by the State of Illinois Statement of Economic Interests form. The draft ordinance was reviewed in committee for over a year and despite strong resistance from some, and a great deal of revision, it was eventually recommended for passage and passed by the whole County Board in December 2010. The two primary sections that survived the cuts were the ones requiring disclosure of real estate holdings and interests in business or professional entities doing business with the County. </div>
<div>For 2011, ALAW is watching as the County develops its Unified Development Ordinance to support the 2030 Comprehensive Land use Plan. Members of ALAW are active in other endeavors related to county and local governance. </div>
