"The House will be in order. We shall be led in prayer today by Representative Dave Severin. Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turn off cell phones, and rise for the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Severin."

"We'll be led in the Pledge by Representative Ives."

"Roll Call for Attendance. Leader Currie."

"Thank you, Speaker. Please let the record show that Representatives Chapa LaVia and Riley are excused today."

"Mr. Wheeler." 10000137.docx 3  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 Wheeler, K.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Please let the record reflect that Representatives Fortner and Wehrli are excused today."

"Mr. Clerk, please take the record. There are 113 Members answering the roll and we do have a quorum. The Chair recognizes Mr. Brady."

"You may proceed, Sir."

"Welcome to the Illinois House chamber. Thank you very much for being here. Representative Bryant."

"Proceed please."

"Great to have you with us today, to you and your family. Thank you very much. Mr. Butler."

"Proceed, Sir." 10000137.docx 4  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Thank you, Sir. Mr. Bennett."

"Proceed please."

"Welcome aboard. Thank you for joining us. Mr. Davidsmeyer."

"You may proceed." 10000137.docx 5  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Thanks for being in the House chamber with us today. Representative Stuart. Stuart."

"Thank you. Point of personal privilege."

"Proceed."

"Thank you. I would like to introduce some Pages that actually myself and Monica Bristow are sharing today. If these young ladies could stand up. I have five women from troop… Girl Scout Troop 370. They will all be juniors at Edwardsville High School next year. They are bridging from Senior Girl Scouts to Ambassador Scouts. And whenever they do such a bridge, they always celebrate with a special trip and this is what they decided to make their special trip. So from right to left, I have Isabella Doyle, who is a member of the swim team. Lauren McGarr, who plays field hockey. Colleen McCracken, who's a flute player. Emily Kloostra, who's a member of first robotics. And Kylie Shomaker, who's also a member of the swim team. So send them on a lot of errands and give them a warm Springfield welcome. Thank you."

"Thank you all for being joining us today. We appreciate it. Mr. Cavaletto."

"Go right ahead, Sir." 10000137.docx 6  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Thanks for being here with us. Mr. Harris. What's right with Illinois, Sir?" Harris, D.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And brief point of personal privilege. Thank you. I'd like to note the fact that each year an organization called character.org, and it's state affiliates, select schools and districts that demonstrate a dedicated focus on character development programs and a positive impact on academic achievement, student behavior, school climate, and their communities. The schools that were selected around the nation were found to be exemplary models of character development. And the school from Illinois that made the list is none other than the Belleville Public School District 118. Congratulations to them."

Speaker Lang: "Big congratulations. Thank you, Mr. Harris. Representative Scherer."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The first thing that I would like to do is to reiterate what Representative Butler said about the event tonight at the Abraham Lincoln Museum. And again, I wanted to remind everyone that I have the forms to fill out for a membership if you'd like to pick one up, you could take it with you and turn it in this evening. I also, on a different point of personal privilege, would like to give kudos to the IHI Turbo, which is in Shelbyville. And myself and other Representatives in the area are very pleased 10000137.docx 7  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 to hear how well they're doing. I know a lot of people from our community drive there for work and they're looking to expand and hire more employees. And they're even trying to find housing. So that's always a good thing when we're bursting at the seams like that. This is a very progressive business that has come to central Illinois and things just keep getting greater. Thank you."

"Thank you, Representative. Representative Wallace, for what reason do you rise?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise for a point of personal privilege."

"You may proceed."

"Today is Red Nose Day. It is a day dedicated to focusing on ending childhood hunger. I think it's very fitting and timely given the fact that yesterday we had a Bill that could help with such a measure. And I won't belabor the point, it’s a shame that that particular Bill only had a partisan Roll Call when there are hungry children, and children who live in poverty, all across our great state. Throughout the debate I talked a little bit about my own son's experience with Ritz Crackers and apple juice. And as a measure of good faith, and because sometimes we're here long hours, I want to say if anyone gets hungry and needs a snack I have some Ritz Crackers and some apple juice for them. Please feel free to stop by and get it. I do want to note that in the 42nd District there are 1,077 children who live in extreme poverty. In the 48th District there are 915 children who live in extreme poverty. In the 100th District there are 1,638 children who live in extreme poverty. And in the 109th District there are 1,793 10000137.docx 8  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 children who live in extreme poverty. I will probably share more throughout my duration in the General Assembly over the next few days, but I do hope that everyone takes seriously the issue of childhood hunger and childhood poverty. Thank you."

"Mr. Phillips."

"Under the Order of Resolutions on Supplemental Calendar #1, House Resolution 1071, Mr. Welter. Mr. Clerk."

"Mr. Welter."

"Mr. Evans."

"To the Resolution. First, I'd like to say, wow. Megan, you are a… you are my hero. You know, I am a cancer survivor as well, Megan, but I didn’t go through what you went through. You are truly a champion. You're standing next to one of the taller Members of our General Assembly, Mr. Welter, but you are a giant in this building. You inspire us. And continue to fight. We're praying for you, we're pushing you along. We're your cheering section. You know, we clap for you and usually with these Resolutions it’s a lot of emotions and a moment of silence but we clap with you. I'll clap for you for the rest of this year. And know up in Chicago you've got a Representative in me. And all of us throughout the State of Illinois there's this clapping and cheering for you. And further, to the Resolution, I'd like to say it is important to reach out to our federal partners and let them know that… what we think. And when it comes to childhood cancers please 10000137.docx 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 know that we talk about prostate cancer, we talk about breast cancer and they get a lot of the attention. But our children are important. Cancer comes in a variety of forms and we want to let our research partners know, our federal partners know keep the fight on. Because we want to keep our Megan's here. Megan, we want to see you grow. We know what the chances are but we don’t care about chances. We care about hope and we care about belief. So keep fighting, girl. We love you. We appreciate you. And stay strong. I'll be over there to get my selfie with you because you are truly my inspiration. So thank you so much. And again, all the best to you and your family and all the strength to you."

Speaker Lang: "Thank you, Representative. Representative Parkhurst."

"Thank you, Representative. Thank you for all you do, Megan, and all you have done. We appreciate you. Mr. Welter."

"Gentleman asks that all Members be added as Sponsors. Is there leave? Leave is granted. All Members will be added as Sponsors. Those in favor of the Resolution say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Resolution is adopted. Congratulations, Megan. House Resolution 1124, Representative Phelps Finnie. Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Phelps Finnie."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm so proud. To my left up in the gallery, if you would all stand, students from the Gallatin County School. This is again, I think I've mentioned this before, this is where my clinic is where I'm a nurse practitioner. And also this is the school where my children attend. So I'm super proud of these… these kids. These are… they are great students, super intelligent. This is the third year in a row that Gallatin County School has won the WYSE State Championship. So let me list… I'm gonna list some of their accomplishments. Kiley Brown was fourth in biology. David Matthews placed fifth in math. And let me list the names of all these students. Michaela Springer, Kenna Rife, Dylan Boggs, Nathan Shults, Dylan Garrison, Aaron Walters, David Matthews, Kiley Brown, Madison Raymer, Konner Gross, Abbie 10000137.docx 15  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 Keasler, Kallie Keasler, Blake Seely, Jayde Pennington and JV members Brock Seely, Will Henson, and Chris Tedford. One of their coaches, Lindsay Adams, is here with them today as well as some of their parents. And these are fine students and they're like family to me. So please give them a good Springfield welcome."

"Thanks for joining us today. Those in favor of the Resolution say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Resolution is adopted. Chair recognizes Leader Currie."

"Thank you, Speaker. Please let the record show that Representative Wallace is excused for the remainder of the day."

"What's going to happen with the juice and the crackers? Oh you're leaving them. Okay. Thank you. Ladies and Gentlemen, an announcement from the Chair. Mr. Demmer."

"And it shall be no surprise to anyone the Democrats with also caucus immediately. We'll go to our respective rooms immediately. Clerk will be in Perfunctory Session while we're in caucus. And we anticipate being back on the floor approximately 2:30, Ladies and Gentlemen. The House is in recess 'til the call of the Chair."

"The House will be in order. The Chair recognizes the Majority Leader."

"Thank you, Speaker. Please let the record show that Representatives Kelly Burke and Larry Walsh should be excused for the rest of the day."

"Thank you, Leader. On page 4 of the Calendar under House Bills-Third Reading, there appears House Bill 4290. Mr. Costello. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Mr. Costello."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Body. This Bill deals with the oldest bill in the backlog of bills that we 10000137.docx 19  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 have in the State of Illinois. This bill is actually one that dates back to 2011, under the Quinn administration. It's been through the legal process. It went through arbitration and an independent arbitrator. That arbitrator ruled that the state should pay the bill. It went through the Circuit Court process. It went through the Appellate Court process. And it went to the Supreme Court. And all three of those courts said that the State of Illinois should pay this bill. Many of you here are aware, and many of you voted on a Bill in 2014, that paid approximately 45 percent of the back pay that's owed to a number of groups. This Bill would represent the remaining 55 percent that is owed to these groups. These groups are the INA, AFSCME, IFT, the PBA, Police Benevolent Association, the Laborers, and SEIU. If you look at what we're talking about here, in chronological order, this Bill should be at the top of the list of what the State of Illinois should be paying. And I would argue to anyone on this floor that in the private sector, if you would look at this scenario, it's actually a felony and it's called theft of services. These people, these workers, blue collar members of the State of Illinois have performed a service and they have not been paid on it. And I would argue that we should pass this Bill and pay the remaining 55 percent that we owe these members. And I would be open for any questions. Thank you."

"Mr. Davidsmeyer."

"Mr. Butler."

"Mr. Breen." 10000137.docx 21  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Sponsor yields."

"So this would represent, like I said, the period of 2011 to 2015. Yes, you're correct, that this was a contractual agreement that Governor Quinn made on this particular pay."

"I would also tell you something that's interesting to know about this scenario is certain members of certain agencies were paid and certain members were not paid. Which is you know, even makes it more troubling in my mind."

"I would say its accurate, but here's how I would say it. I would say that the courts have said and ruled that these people are owed this money. And we as a General Assembly, and 10000137.docx 22  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 our Body, has to make the appropriation before they can be paid."

"So the cost of this is $63,255,750."

"It would actually be part of 2018. And this is actually an appropriation."

"There are available revenues as I think you may know. I think there is…"

"Okay. And I understand that. But I think COGFA would say that there are a couple hundred million dollars of monies that has been found that was not expected."

"Thank you."

"Representative Ives."

"Sponsor yields."

"So it's actually July 1 of 2011. So that would be the beginning of the new fiscal year."

"Yes." 10000137.docx 23  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"So, I would tell you there's been a couple of different scenarios. In that you're correct. If you would look back to 2015 the last time that we brought this Bill up, it was voted on and passed on the floor. That particular piece was vetoed by the Governor."

"So…"

"Well so in… actually in 2014, 45 percent of the contractual back pay was appropriated."

"Absolutely."

"Jeanne, first of all I would tell you, when you're pointing please point elsewhere because I have worked for, as well as a number of people on your side of the aisle, a number of people on our side of the aisle, have worked to make sure this is paid for many, many years."

"Which I voted against. So not you."

"Jeanne, this is… this is your opportunity to do the right thing and pay these contractually obligated payments to people who have provided service to the state and have not been paid for it."

"So…"

"Representative Bryant."

"Representative Scherer."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill. In the 98th General Assembly one of my top priority Bills was this very Bill, the ASFME back pay. And it did enable 45 percent of the amount owed to be paid back. And it was very disappointing that we didn’t pay 100 percent of it because that's what needed to be done. So now at this point, in the 100th General Assembly, I'm happy to see that this bipartisan Bill is finally, prayerfully going to come to fruition. And the hard workers of the State of Illinois, who have this money rightfully due, will finally be paid what they should have been paid years ago. So as my dad would say, once again the right thing isn’t the easy thing and because maybe we didn’t do it last year when we should have, because of a veto or whatever. It's time, it's time, it's time to finally put this to rest and do the right thing. I strongly urge an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Mr. Hays."

"Gentleman calls… moves for the previous question. Those in favor say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the previous question is put. Mr. Costello to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said, this is the oldest back bill in the State of Illinois. It has broad bipartisan support and I ask for its passage. Thank you."

"Those in favor of the Gentleman's Bill will vote 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Rita. Please take the record. There are 98 voting 'yes', 10 voting 'no', 1 voting 'present'. And this Bill, having 10000137.docx 27  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Phelps Finnie is recognized."

Phelps Finnie: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Point of personal privilege."

"Please proceed."

"I just wanted to be able to say that… about this back pay. My grandpa was a janitor at a bank for 65 years. And I think about him when I think about these blue collar workers. And I'm so glad we were able to pass this piece of legislation. Right is right and wrong is wrong. And it's right to pay people what they're owed. And in this House, as we try to get our fiscal house in order, this was a priority and I'm very proud to be a part of it. Thank you."

"Mr. Phillips."

"Mr. Batinick."

"Proceed, Sir."

"Mr. Wheeler." Wheeler, K.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Point of personal privilege."

"Proceed." Wheeler, K.: "Thank you. I'd like to echo my housemate's comments there that the Governor did put forth an AV that would try to run down the middle of… respecting both sides priorities. That's something we don’t often do here. I know it hasn’t been called for an AV or even in committee, but I'd appreciate a discussion on that at some point in time. And I think it would be healthy for all of us to go through that. Thank you."

"Page 3 of the Calendar under House-Bills Second Reading. House Bill 5750, Representative Phelps Finnie. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative Phelps Finnie on the Amendment."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Floor Amendment… hang on just a second. Yes. This is just a technical Amendment to make sure… we wanted to make sure we were going to get the federal match. And so this is just a language change to make sure we get the federal matching dollars on the broadband for schools." 10000137.docx 29  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

Speaker Lang: "Those in favor of the Amendment… sorry to interrupt, Representative. Those in favor of the Amendment say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk."

"Third Reading. Please read the Bill."

"Representative Phelps Finnie."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So this is an initiative just to make sure there is $16 million appropriated in the Infrastructure Fund. And this would be shifting this so schools can use this for broadband expansion. Be happy to take any questions."

"Mr. Breen."

"Sponsor yields."

"It will be FY19."

"You'll get your Standard Debate, Sir. Please proceed."

"FY19." 10000137.docx 30  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"I think that's a fair question. My understanding is this money has just been sitting there not used and we want to put it to good use. And I can tell you from my district… I've been passionate about this. We have counties without broadband and we can’t expect our children to learn to their fullest ability without that kind of technology."

"Representative Ives."

"Mr. Batinick."

"Sponsor yields."

"Yeah. It's other state funds of the School Infrastructure Fund."

"Mr. Pritchard."

"Sponsor yields."

"That's a great question. This is the last year that we can get the federal grant for that 10 percent matching."

"Sure. So we know that education more and more is pushing towards technology. You know, teaching… our textbooks 10000137.docx 33  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 are getting old. We can’t even afford to get new textbooks. If we can teach through online services that's going to be a huge advantage for our students."

"Absolutely."

"Much affects my district, inner city Chicago has some as well. And I know there are a few other areas in the state, plus rural."

"So I can't really speak specifically to that. I know that for my area it was not a choice. They don’t have enough funds. We've cut about everything in our schools that we can cut. And so for my schools I can speak and say that this was not a choice to not invest in this."

"Yes."

"Mr. Mitchell." Mitchell, C.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'll just go straight to the Bill. Representative, this is an excellent piece of legislation. To the Gentlelady from Wheaton, we spend more money on kids who need more help. This is another example of the ways in which districts like mine and districts like Representative Phelps Finnie have some of the same struggles, the same challenges. This is a chance to potentially save money by implementing blended learning and online programs that would allow for more programing in far flung rural districts. It's an initiative that deserves support and comes from other state funds. Representative, please add me as a cosponsor and congratulations."

"Mr. Ford."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Sponsor yields."

"Representative, we talked about this Bill in committee, and I asked a question if this would help the City of Chicago and any parts of the 8th District. Did anything change about that? Will this help the City of Chicago or any parts of the 8th District?"

"I can't speak to your district specifically, Mr. Ford. I'm sorry."

"So I'll tell you. I represent the Austin Community. I represent Oak… parts of Oak Park, parts of Berwyn, parts of 10000137.docx 35  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 LaGrange, LaGrange Park, North Riverside, and a little bit of Proviso, and Brookfield. It’s all north."

"Okay."

"Do you think this represents any of the region that I just spoke of?"

"I would not want to misrepresent, so I can't tell you that it would. I don’t have a map in front of me, I'm sorry."

"You remember I said that I would support this Bill because it's important that we work together to support communities that's not in our district but to do the right thing. Do you remember that in committee? I said that I would do that."

"I'm sorry, I do not remember that, Representative Ford."

"Well I supported your Bill to come out of committee on the notion that we will learn to work together. But this is a teachable moment because yesterday I had a Bill that affected Cook County and it did not hurt your district, but it could have helped my district, and you voted 'no'. And this is a teachable moment because it made no sense for you to vote 'no' because the Bill didn’t cost anything. But this Bill is going to cost money. But I want to do the right thing for the people of the State of Illinois. But I have to call to your attention that it is not right for you to vote against a Bill that didn’t cost the state any money, but it did help Cook County repair infrastructure if money became available. So, for the record, I'm going to vote for your Bill because it's the right thing to do. But in the future you should be conscious and realize that you should be supporting other 10000137.docx 36  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 people's initiatives in their district, if that's what they're calling for, if it doesn’t impact the state at least."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Wheeler." Wheeler, K.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Sponsor yields." Wheeler, K.: "Representative, this shows that it is the school infrastructure fund from which these monies would be allocated. Is that correct?"

"The money is already appropriated… actually there's 22 million sitting there right now." Wheeler, K.: "I just wanted to verify this wasn’t GRF money. That's correct, right?"

"I'm sorry?" Wheeler, K.: "I just wanted verify this is not General Revenue Funds at all?"

"Other state funds." Wheeler, K.: "Other state funds. See, had you actually appropriated from General Revenue Fund, I'd be obligated under duty to ask you if there is a revenue estimate somewhere inside this Bill. So I thought I'd just for the sake of consistency and clarity, I'd ask you those questions. And I appreciate the answers. Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Hoffman."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Sponsor yields." 10000137.docx 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Representative, it's my understanding that the majority of this money is going to be used in rural… and rural areas, and areas that are downstate. Is that correct?"

"That's correct."

"And you represent downstate, right?"

"Yes."

"And it'll help your school districts immensely if you pass this Bill?"

"Yes."

"So to the Bill, Mr… Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to say that I support this wholeheartedly. It is going to help all schools districts throughout the state, but the most it's going to help are Representatives who represent areas that are downstate and rural areas. Now it used to be, when I first started here, it wasn’t so much Republicans and Democrats as it was regional Representatives who stood up and represented and voted for their region. So I would submit to you, if you're a Republican and you have a rural area and you're in downstate Illinois, you should support this Bill because it's going to help your school districts and your children who are in those schools immensely."

"Representative Phelps Finnie to close."

"Thank you. I appreciate all of the comments, even some that were a little tough to hear. I do appreciate that and appreciate people being honest with me about how they feel. This is extremely important for especially southern Illinois that I represent. And when I took that oath to come here and serve, I promised the people of the 118th District in Southern Illinois that I would do my best for them. And 10000137.docx 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 that's what I'm doing here today. Our children, we feel like, all of Southern Illinois has been left behind for some time. Our kids are hurting. Our people are hurting. And this is my best effort to be able to help our children, the most precious and vulnerable in our communities. And I am proud to stand here today to do it and I humbly ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Those in favor of the Lady's Bill will vote 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Members, please record yourselves. Mr. Clerk, please take the record. There are 91 voting 'yes', 15 voting 'no'. And this Bill, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. House Bill 4890, Mr. Davis. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Mr. Davis."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 4890, again, despite what you see on the board, relative to the Village of Posen. It was a gut and replace Amendment that we adopted yesterday for the Midlothian Park District to give them permission to go above what would be their statutory debt limit to sell bonds in a higher incriminate based on what their voters had indicated that they would like for them to do. So again, statutorily they could sell them in $5 million increments. They want to do a $13 million bond issuance for updates to their parks. So giving them the ability, through this piece of legislation, allows them to go and get those bonds all at once to save their community a little money in 10000137.docx 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 the process. We kind of thoroughly debated the Amendment yesterday. Don’t know if Mr. Breen is going to have any additional questions, but nevertheless I'll be ready for them. Thank you."

"And guess what? Mr. Breen."

"Sponsor yields."

"Well I appreciate you care… that you care about the Village of Posen so very much."

"I really do. So when this was brought to me I think we had passed one of our deadlines in terms of being able to do so. So the question was, if we want to try to help them this Session how could we do it? And so what I had did, even before this came up, is that I had asked for an Amendment to House Bill 4129, which is a TIF Bill for the Village of Caseyville, by Representative Stuart here. She and Senator Haynes said that I could add the Posen TIF language to that Bill. So that Bill has passed and is coming back to this chamber on concurrence. And so I then was able to use this Bill as the vehicle for the Midlothian Park District."

"Yes. That is an accurate statement."

"Those in favor of the Bill will vote 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Please record yourselves, Members. Please record yourselves. Sente. Mr. Clerk, please take the record. On this question, there are 55 voting 'yes', 51 voting 'no'. And the Gentleman asks for Postponed Consideration. House Bill 5868, Mr. Ford. Please read the Bill."

"Mr. Ford."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I move for the adoption of House Floor Amendment #1. It's the Amendment… House Floor Amendment #2, thank you, Tim. It makes the Bill agreed and what it does it strikes the underlying in Bill's Medicaid provision and removes the Bill's requirement that the Department of Insurance rate community based agencies 10000137.docx 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 making certain coverages requirements optional. And make other changes including the definition of substance abuse. I move for the adoption of Floor Amendment #2."

"Those in favor of the Amendment say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk."

"Third Reading. Please read the Bill."

"Mr. Ford."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill deals with the issue of bifurcated closings… real estate closings. So when a piece of real property is sold, the seller customarily pays for the owner's title insurance policy, which protects the buyer from liens against the property as well as other anticipated claims. Long standing practice in Illinois is that the title company which issues the owner's policy also issues the lenders policy. This Bill will modify that to provide the public policy considering the bifurcated title insurance policies is a single transaction for purposes of the sale and purchase of residential real property. Happy to take any questions."

"Mr. Breen."

"Sponsor yields."

"Give me a minute. This applies with… in counties with 500 thousand inhabitants or above."

"Yes. It applies to the traditionally… the collar counties."

"Exactly."

"Well that's a great question, Representative. First and foremost, as you know as a practicing attorney, federal preemption of State Laws is generally disfavored except where there is a direct conflict. We don’t believe there is a direct conflict there. Secondly, RESPA doesn’t actually say the party paying for title insurance gets to choose the company. 10000137.docx 52  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 It only addresses the common problem, from say 50 years ago, where form contracts were used by sellers, which mandated the used of a particular title company. So under this initiative, the party's right to choose under Section 18.1 of the Title Insurance Act protects buyers from what we would call abusive lender conduct."

"Well I will say… speaking of proponents, there were some changes in the Senate that we made in response to the Illinois Land Title Association as well as the realtors concerns. So I would characterize the department's objection as more of a philosophical difference. And I do not believe that in practice it's going to have the impact that IDFPR fears it will." Breen: "Fair enough. And to the Bill. The aim of the Bill appears to be good in that we want to help buyers from being taken advantage of. And I was told it's often out of state lenders that are… as one of the many sheets that buyers have in their package of purchase papers. They would possibly very early in a transaction waive their right or somehow waive their right to get title from the seller… to get title insurance from the seller's policy as a secondary policy instead going with a more expensive option from out of state. I will say, I still have concerns about the Bill. I think that those concerns, if 10000137.docx 53  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 this Bill does what it intends to do, which is to either slowdown that process or give buyers a little extra consumer protection, then the Bill would achieve a good end. I… for me myself, I will be voting in favor of the Bill but there are still questions. And the Bill… there are still questions as to whether the Bill will do exactly what is needed. I think that the chances are more in favor that it will than what… that it won't. In a complicated area of law with some federal pre-emption issues I know that it has to thread a needle. I think that it threads the needle, but again that's a pretty technical legal argument in contention. I'm looking forward to hearing what the other Representatives have to say about it."

"This Bill is on the Order of Short Debate. We've had the Sponsor and a respondent. Representative Williams to close."

"Well I…"

"Representative Williams to close."

"Well I want to thank Representative Breen, Representative Thapedi… hold on one second. I can… I can take it out of the record while we settle the issue of the debate because I'm happy to have a further discussion if there are Members that wish to."

"If the Sponsor wishes more debate I'm happy to accommodate her."

"It doesn’t remove that possibility, it just changes the default to provide that as the default. So as in any real estate transaction, the parties can agree to utilize a different process. So if you're advised by your attorney, or if you so choose after looking at the documents to proceed in a different manner, you can conduct a transaction in that manner. So nothing is prohibited there. It just… it just codifies the default process as to what the current practice is. The practice has been evolving over time as mortgage lenders have decided the title business is one they'd like to divert and direct to certain companies for whatever reason that might be. So it just changes or just codifies the default I would say, nothing different."

"Well unless the buyer and seller agree otherwise this Bill does require the title insurance the same company issues title for both parties. As is, we believe, already 10000137.docx 55  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 contemplated by State and Federal Law. But again, it’s room… there's room for disagreement and agreement of the parties as in any other part of the transactions… part of the deal."

"I don’t have this information, but I know that during my experience in the Judiciary Committee they've been an active and interested party in terms of lending policy. And I didn’t hear from anyone else on the issue."

"That's a good question, but I would simply argue that the title companies in my experience are fairly sophisticated. And I think if they had concern about legislation moving we probably would have heard from them based on the length of time the Bill's been out there."

"Thank you." 10000137.docx 56  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Representative Flowers."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative, can you please tell me did you… does this Bill apply to Cook County?"

"This will apply to Cook County. Yes."

"All right. I thought… I didn’t hear that. Thank you very much for the clarification. Thank you."

"Mr. Reick."

"Sponsor yields."

"We're actually moving away from the bifurcated transactions. So I think we might be on the same page here. Current Illinois Law, which in practice contemplates the use of one title insurance companies for exactly the reason you're articulated, requires the title company that issues to also give sellers a closing protection letter. This protects the escrow funds. It's a condition of the title company acting as an escrow agent in residential transactions. So I feel like 10000137.docx 57  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 we might be coming from the same place, unless I'm misunderstanding your question."

"I… you know, I don’t know how that would work. I think just like any other component of a closing, there would be… there would require individual titles to be purchased. I'm sure that, again, could be waived or agreed to by the parties depending on how it works. I mean, I'm guessing they would be different pins and different parcels if they were sold to separate buyers. So I'm supposing that an individual policy would be required. But I can't say that for certain because I've not done that sort of closing. I'm not familiar with that sort of closing."

"Yes."

"Mr. Thapedi."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Sponsor yields." 10000137.docx 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"Representative, thank you for taking this on. I know that we vetted this out quite a bit in the Judiciary Committee. I do want to get a little bit of clarification though especially considering that this actually applies to real estate deals that are being closed in Cook County. So hypothetically I think we know how a real estate transaction works. That once the deal is done, the attorney review period is over, the inspection period is over the seller will actually order the title. And they provide that title to the buyer and the buyer then forwards it on to lender. The lender looks at it and makes sure that everything is clear. Now hypothetically, if the buyer wants to use a different title company, under this Bill, what happens?"

"Under this Bill if there's agreement between the parties it's my understanding that that's absolutely permissible. I do know that you do closings as part of your practice. So I'd actually defer to your opinion on this issue on the hypothetical you just submitted. But I'm guessing it's an agreement and would be permitted."

"So it would be permitted? So that even though that the seller has actually ordered title from say title company X and the buyer gets that title from title company X and decides that he or she wants to go to title company Y, they would be able to close the transaction at title company Y?"

"I think you're correct. The problem that the bifurcated… some of the problems that, as I understand it, that bifurcated transactions can result in, in addition to the consumer issue that we discussed earlier, is the potential that one company may be willing to close in under different 10000137.docx 59  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 conditions than another title company. So sometimes that can delay or cause problems for a consumer. And that is another reason that I think traditionally in the areas we practice, and especially in the collar counties, this is not favored. As you know from the discussion, the local custom and border areas is a bit different and has not been subject to the kind of more aggressive lender captive title companies efforts to get the titles issued by their own policies, more of a local custom thing. So we're responding to kind of the trend to have the mortgage lenders attempt to issue title by their own chosen company. If that makes sense?"

"Very good. And one of the theories as to why this Bill was really brought to light was because we found out that many lending institutions are actually acquiring title companies, which can quite frankly be a disadvantageous to buyers that are actually borrowing money from that same lending institution. Isn't that accurate?"

"Well said, and that's exactly the crux of the issue. Thank you for sharing that."

"All right. Thank you, Representative. I fully support your Bill. Job well done on a very difficult issue."

"Thank you."

"Chair recognizes Mr. Hoffman."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the record reflect that Representative Halpin is excused for the rest of the day?"

"The… SB558 is a trailer Bill to correct a section of the new law that went into effect on January 1 that inadvertently eliminated the ability for prosecutors to secure an ex parte emergency order of protection for victims in criminal cases. So last year this Assembly passed the Public Act to 10000137.docx 62  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 consolidate orders of protections, civil no contact orders, and stalking no contact orders, make it easier for prosecutors to seek these orders for victims during criminal proceedings. Unfortunately, ex parte orders of protection were left out of the revised law. So we were contacted by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to basically ask for the ability to do these orders again. So at this point, Senate Bill 588, it restores those ex parte emergency orders of protection and makes a few technical changes to conform to other recently passed laws. I'm happy to answer any questions."

"At this point I believe that the intent is to go forward working with all the stakeholders prior to a ruling in that particular case.

But at this point we're committed to working with stakeholders moving forward with that decision not… not having been finalized at this point."

"My understanding… ex parte emergency orders were removed from the Criminal Code inadvertently in the adoption of that legislation last year."

"Well, I mean, the Criminal Code has always had… excuse me. The Civil Code has always had these ex parte orders with basically the limited duration being the reason that these don't create significant issues. Obviously the orders are referred to as emergency orders. It's not until the plenary orders go into effect, where there has been an opportunity for a hearing, that the situation is addressed. So… but the problem is is that we didn't have that with the Criminal Code."

"They've… they amended this in the Senate."

"Yes."

"Correct."

"Mr. Andersson."

"Representative Flowers."

"I rise in support of the Lady's Bill. Studies have shown that when physical ed is in the schools grades go up and crime goes down. And who would not want that. I urge an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Representative Bourne."

"Sponsor yields."

"Again, the current statute makes it so that the school does not have to meet the 150 minute requirement if they have a shortened week."

"And so my Bill does nothing to change that. It's still… I want to clarify that that is still the case even with my Bill. So if school doesn't meet enough times a week to fulfill the 150 minute requirement then they won't be held to that."

"It varies. I think it varies based on how schools do it. I know some schools have 45 minute classes but some schools they may not have it every day and so they may have a longer 10000137.docx 75  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 period maybe once a week. So I think it varies for different schools and school districts."

Speaker Lang: "We've already had three in opposition. Mr. Pritchard do you rise in support or opposition? Sorry, Sir. Representative Bellock, do you rise in support or opposition?"

"We’ve exhausted our speakers for this Bill. Representative Harper to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to reiterate that this Bill would expand the PE requirement but allows districts flexibility over when to schedule the PE minutes. And as Rep Bellock noted, and as the Center for Disease Control recommends, the recommendation is now 150 minutes for PE for elementary students and 225 minutes for middle and high school students. We are only asking for the minimum that the Center for Disease Control recommends for our students’ health. I encourage an 'aye' vote."

And this Bill, having 10000137.docx 78  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Senate Bill 2578, Mr. Martwick. Please read the Bill."

"Mr. Martwick."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Senate Bill 2578 provides that if a person is certified by a medical doctor to be under a legal disability, has no spouse, blood relative, or other person providing care for him or her, has no guardian of his or her estate, and is confined to a Medicare approved state certified nursing home or to a publicly owned and operated nursing home, hospital, or mental institution that the Cook County Pension Fund may pay the benefit directly to the nursing home, hospital, or mental institution to be used for the sole benefit of that person under legal disability. I know of no opposition. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Mr. Breen."

"Sponsor yields."

"Well, I mean, it's… they need the power to be able to do it in these five cases and any other cases that might arise. So you're dealing with annuitants from the Pension Fund that are severely disabled, you know, they've already been certified as… by… and there's no one else to pay this 10000137.docx 79  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 to. They don't have a guardian. So this allows them to… to get that payment directly to the nursing home to make sure that the care is being provided properly for these people."

"That is correct."

"That's the hope."

"That is correct."

"Mr. Brady."

"Sponsor yields."

"So these are people who are already in… as I said, they would be in a Medicare approved state certified nursing home or publicly owned nursing home, hospital, or mental institution. In this instance their benefit level is so low it's probably not even covering the full cost of their care. And so it's just allowing us to expedite that payment directly to them."

"That is correct." 10000137.docx 80  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"No."

"Yes, Sir."

"Thank you."

"Representative Flowers."

"Representative, what protection is in place for the person who may have been the guardianship over this person that's in the nursing home…"

"So in this…"

"…or the benefactor of his or her pension?"

"So in this instance, Representative, this would only pertain to people who have no spouse, blood relative, or other person providing or caring for them and has no guardian of their estate."

"I guess what… what type of paperwork, what affidavit, who would authenticate that?"

"Right. So… so this is a person who, as I mentioned, would be in a long term care facility, mental institution, long term care hospital. So it would be, you know, all of the ministerial, the paperwork would be handled by that institution."

"There has to be a public guardian. There has to be someone to authentic the paperwork for the pension to be able to pay off the hospital bill, the nursing home, or what… the mental health facility and not just arbitrarily upon this persons death. Which one would get paid first and are there 10000137.docx 81  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018 other bills to be out there that needs to be paid? So how is… how will that be…"

"This isn't in the instance of death. This is where they're continuing to live. And again, these are, as the Floor Leader pointed out, it would apply to five individuals currently. So it's a very a limited scope. And the idea would be that, you know, these are instances where… where these annuitants are such low dollar annuitants that their… what their getting from the fund is not enough to cover the cost of their long term care but that way… so everything is already being used for that purpose. All of those dollars already being used. So we're just making sure that the payment is expedited and it's going directly there. It's to save…"

"I understand what you're saying that you… you just said that this is already being used to make these payments but yet you're also saying this Bill will be covering those payments. So if it's already being used to make it then upon that person's death I'm sure, just like the social security check, it'd be the last to check to come in. But then what happens to if there's monies left over?"

"I don't know. I believe that would be a matter for their estate to be handled. I don't know. I mean on a pension there wouldn't be money left over. Right?"

"There might be. I don't know."

"No. I don't believe so. Upon death your pension is ended I believe."

"No. Because it could've been… your pension could have been left to someone and you have to be able to identify." 10000137.docx 82  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/24/2018

"So that would have to… that would have to be handled by… so if there is excess contributions. So in other words if the person had not withdrawn the amount that they contributed, so if there was an excess contribution, that money could go then but that would be handled by a probate court or through the execution of a will. So that would be handled very separately from this."

"You know, Representative, I understand exactly what it is that you're trying to do. And I understand that a pension if the person has no spouse then there is no benefactor but I just wanted to make sure that this senior citizen who's, you know, in this situation that whatever they have is protected and it's not abused. And I just did not see that protection in your legislation."

"Understood. Yes."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate you answering the questions. I can't say that I'm satisfied but thank you."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Martwick to close."

"Sure. So currently under this, which is a federal program, it provides that three percent of all federal contracting dollars would be utilized in an eligible hub zone."

"Representative Gordon-Booth."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 5341 is the Fair Access to Employment Bill. There's been a lot of bipartisan work by this Body over the last few years and to right many of the wrongs in the criminal justice system. For decades if you made a mistake you were locked out of the American Dream and handcuffed to despair. This Bill is another attempt to give people who have made a mistake another chance at having hope in their lives. What we're looking to do with this legislation is to create a more streamlined process that would ensure that courts don’t have a blanket prohibition when considering outstanding fines and fees in regards to both sealing and expunging petitions for fees that are… that are not waived. This Amendment brings the… excuse me… this Bill, and the Amendment that we just adopted, brings the Illinois State's Attorney and the Clerk's Association neutral on the Bill. This is a critical piece of legislation for many communities like mine and many others around this state. I'm open for any questions. I ask for your 'aye' vote."

"Mr. Breen."

"Sponsor yields."

"So essentially what the Amendment does is the Amendment doesn't allow fines and fees to be a prohibition as it relates to sealments but it can continue to be somewhat of a challenge for expungements. And that is because of the way in which expungements and sealments are handled. As you likely know as a member… as a former member of law enforcement when you have a sealment it just simply isn't available to the public but law enforcement will still have access to those records."

"Wrong person."

"Correct."

"Correct."

"No. So the Amendment, House Amendment 4, which we just adopted, removed the opposition from the Illinois State's Attorney Association as well as the Clerk's Association. At one point in committee there was some questions that IML as well as the Chiefs had but after conversation they learned that this was not what they thought it was and they were very comfortable with this legislation."

"And they don't consider that changes along the way are particularly helpful. But I think this is an important change to make now.

Are they comfortable with their ability to get along with their peers? I mean these are self-evaluations. They are confidential.
