"Madam Chair and Members of the House, I feel compelled to build off Representative Thaddeus Jones' appeal for pulling over for our officers.

And so, so often we remember people when they are dead, but John Thompson is still amongst us.

"Buongiorno. Representative Hernandez, for what reason do you seek recognition." Hernandez, L.: "Thank you, Madam Speaker. Point of personal privilege."

"Please proceed." Hernandez, L.: "I stand today to highlight César Chávez and his lasting legacy. César was born on March 31, 1927. He grew up in Arizona in a small adobe home, where at an early age he learned about injustice. His family later moved to California where they would work in the fields. Coming from a migrant family, César did not like school as a child. At the time, teachers were primarily white and Spanish was forbidden in school. In 1942, he graduated from the eighth grade. However, due to his father being in an accident, he started working in the fields to help provide for his family. César later served in the U.S. Navy and returned to San Jose, California where he met and was influenced by Father Donald McDonnell. They talked about farm workers and strikes and the power of nonviolent protests. César Chávez eventually became an organizer. In 1962, he and a few others, such as Dolores Huerta, set out to organize a union of farm workers. Nearly 10100035.docx 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 everyone told them it was impossible. But his response was Si Se Puede, Yes We Can. As a result, he founded the National Farm Workers Association, later to become the United Farm Workers – the UFW. His activism helped spark a movement for Latino civil rights in our country which ultimately led to improved farmworker conditions through the UFW, and greater Latino representation in the media, elected office, and throughout organized labor. César Chávez was a civil rights and labor leader who fought for the dignity of workers in United States. Thank you."

Speaker Manley: "Leader Willis for the purpose of an announcement."

It also changes the language because back in about 4 years ago in 2015, the income threshold went from 185 percent to 50 and then back to 185."

House Bill 247, 10100035.docx 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 Representative Carroll. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill. Representative, you want to roll this Bill back to Second to adopt your Amendment?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Carroll on the Amendment."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. This Amendment… this is a gut and replace. This Amendment basically says when school districts contract with third-party driver's ed teachers, they have to go through the same training as a regular staff member."

"Leader Batinick for a question. Representative Carroll moves that Floor Amendment 1 be adopted. All those in favor say 'aye'; those opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Any further Amendments, Mr. Clerk?"

"Third Reading. Please read the Bill."

"Representative Carroll."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, this is a Bill that says when school districts contract with third party to teach driver's education that the driver's ed teacher has to meet 10100035.docx 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 the same standards as a regular staff member. And I ask for an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Leader Batinick for a question."

"He will yield."

"Yes, Sir."

"Yes, that's correct."

"I am not really sure 'cause they didn't necessarily bring it up to me."

"Well, there's a different kind of training. So this Bill basically says when the school districts contract with a specific… with this specific driver's… like they'll bring in a third party from a private company, they want to put them in the same evaluation standards as regular teachers do. So they want to have a standard process for all driver's ed teachers."

"Well that… again it would just change the evaluation process for everyone. So the certification process to become a driver's ed teacher is the same, it's just the way that school district evaluate the people that come in both on standard and non-standard basis."

"Yes."

"Well, we're just… again we're just trying to make sure that there's a standard process of certifying driver's ed teachers because, you know, again, we're talking about driver safety and road safety. So we want to make sure that there's a standard practice amongst all driver's ed teachers."

"Again, it's just that they… the third-party people that come in are up to the same standards of the teachers that are on staff."

"Yes." 10100035.docx 44  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"Yes."

"The Chair recognizes Leader Wehrli."

"Yes, he will."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"It just makes sure that the evaluating process is consistent for people on staff and the privately-hired driver's ed teachers."

"If they're contracted with the public schools they're up to the same standard of evaluation and training."

"Representative Keicher for a question."

"He will."

"Well again, it's standard to the school district. So if the school district is contracting with outside third-party vendors to do driver's education we want to make sure that they're up to the same standards that the school provides."

"Yeah, that's correct."

"Yes."

"I believe the… I believe the Secretary of State is opposed it. But again, they haven't brought me their objections."

"Yeah, but they have not brought me…"

"Yes." 10100035.docx 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"Yes."

"That's not what I'm saying at all."

"Well, my Bill says that if they do it in a… in the public school setting and they're contracted through a third party they have to be up to the standards of the school."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Because they're working in a school setting. They're being brought in a privately contracted through the schools. So because they're working on the staff of the school, they should be up to the same standard as the teachers that are on the staff." 10100035.docx 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"Are you suggesting to me that there are medical doctors on staffs at schools?"

"But are they teaching at the school?"

"Are they teaching at the school?"

"Are they teaching at the school?"

"They must meet the standards of the buildings that they're in, yes."

"They need to be certified to teach driver's education."

"I don't understand your question." 10100035.docx 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"That driver's ed teacher will be up to the same evaluation standards as other teachers on the staff."

"Chair recognizes Representative Skillicorn for a question."

"He will."

"This Bill doesn't specifically talk about that, but I mean, you can teach driver's ed… I believe you have to be certified through the Secretary of State to teach driver's ed. So I just can't go teach driver's ed there has to be a process to get licensure for that. I'm not a hundred percent sure though, Representative."

"I'll take it under advisement. Thank you."

"Chair recognizes Representative Bourne."

"He will."

"Yes. This was an initiative of the Illinois Education Association. So they had approached me to take this Bill. They have some concerns that there are people that are doing driver's education that aren't up to the standards of other teachers in the building so they want to make sure it's a consistent standard."

"I'm sorry, let me rephrase that."

"I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that. That they want to have a standard of evaluation for all the teachers on staff. So it's not that they're not up to the standards but they want a consistent standard. I apologize." 10100035.docx 50  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"No, they are contracted out. Well it's contracted in, I should say."

"Not off the top of my head."

"That would be correct."

"Chair recognizes Representative Halpin."

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

"He will."

"Representative, I just want to clarify a couple of things. It's my understanding that the Secretary of State just verifies that an individual is, you know, a licensed driver and certified to instruct. Is that correct?"

"Yes, Sir."

"But beyond that driver educators that are within the school district have to follow para, they have to be evaluated and observed on a regular basis. Is that correct?"

"That's correct."

"And so all this Bill really does is asks that for folks that are actually instructing our students within a school district that they also be observed and evaluated to make sure that what they're doing is beyond them being a licensed instructor but makes sure that they're doing the right thing as they do their instruction, correct?"

"That's correct."

"And so this isn't applying to, you know, third-party custodians or third party… other third-party contractors, we're talking about an individuals that actually instruct students in driver's education, correct?"

"That would be correct."

"Yeah. So I guess I'll just go briefly to the Bill. This is not any kind of broad expansion. This is just making sure that the few driver's… driver instructors that are third 10100035.docx 52  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 parties are being observed just like our in district teachers. We're treating all those in district folks the same as the third parties. It's a reasonable way to go. I don't believe it affects too many districts anyway. And I would urge a 'yes' vote."

"Chair recognizes Representative Zalewski."

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

"He will."

"Jonathan, I'm… I'm a little confused about what our BA says. So I'm going to walk you through the BA and I'm going to ask you to clean it up for me. The original analysis is about a minimum of five-hour instructional day, correct?"

"Yes, Sir."

"What was the original intent of the Bill?"

"This was a gut and replace. So…"

"No. No. No. The original intent of the Bill you filed. What was the original intent of the Bill?"

"This was actually was a Bill that was filed by Leader Crespo. So I don't… the original intent of the Bill I'm not sure. I just took it over and was the gut and replace."

"Okay. So the original intent of the Bill, if you could ask for guidance, dealt with original… with an instructional day. Is that an accurate assessment?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Okay. And then you filed Floor Amendment #1, correct?"

"Yes."

"Floor Amendment #1, what our Bill analysis says, is a gut and replace while the underlying Bill is about the minimum hours to be an instructor it then says House Floor Amendment 10100035.docx 53  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 #1 is about driver's ed. So what I take that to mean is the original Bill is contained in the gut and replace dealing with the instructional day, but there's an added provision dealing with driver's ed. Is that a fair assessment?"

"No, that's not. The original Bill…"

"Okay, then tell us what the Amendment does."

"The Amendment deals with the fact that no one observes teachers that come into the district as private-contracted driver's ed teachers. And this is basically just observing… you know, contracted driver's ed teacher. That's what this does, that's it."

"So… and I apologize 'cause I didn't realize you did this at Leader Crespo's behalf. But what it sounds like you're saying is you shrunk the scope of the Bill from a five-hour instructional day to just dealing with those instructors that come in for driver's ed purposes. Is that correct?"

"That's correct."

"And as a result of that it's a gut and replace dealing with what happens when a contractor tries to… when a school district tries to hire a third-party contractor to teach driver's ed."

"Yes."

"What does your Bill do in that respect?"

"It basically says that if a school district contracts with an outside driver's ed instructor, so in other words they bring someone in to teach driver's ed, they are up to the same standards of observation that other teachers are in the district. So if you're a contracted driver's ed teacher, 10100035.docx 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 you're up to the same evaluation standards as teachers that are already at the school."

"Okay. And our BA says the Amendment has no opponents but what we're hearing… what we're discerning is that the Secretary of State may have some concerns. Is that a fair statement?"

"Yes, Sir."

"And are you comfortable committing to both yourself and maybe Leader Crespo that if the Bill does get the requisite number of votes that you'll work with the Senate Sponsor to try to address the concerns of the Secretary of State?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"Okay. Thank you, Madam Speaker."

"The Chair recognizes Representative Bryant."

"That would be amazing."

"So would the rest of us. Representative Batinick… Leader Batinick. I meant that it would be nice if he was here. Leader Batinick."

"Chair recognizes Representative Scherer."

"Thank you, Madam Chair… or Madam Speaker I should say. So I think this an excellent Bill, Representative. I see that it is another thing to address the teacher shortage that too many people keep ignoring. We have a problem that we can't find enough driver's ed teachers. And what this Bill does, in my understanding… and Leader Crespo was just here so I was able to talk to him about it just a second ago. And both of us understand it as though we're just requiring if you go to an outside third party you just want the same standards met as if you're having a teacher do it. It has really nothing to do with now you have to be a licensed teacher. This has to do with the people who are not licensed teachers, and we're holding them to the same level that we would hold a teacher 10100035.docx 56  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 to. I think that there's been some confusion in people's analysis and I hope that clears some things up. I urge an 'aye' vote."

"Chair recognizes Representative Stuart."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Representative, so you're talking about folks that are in a classroom?"

"I can't hear… I'm sorry. I can't hear her. Can you repeat the question? I'm sorry."

"Yeah. We're just… I want to clarify, we're talking about folks that are like in… it's going to be in a high school classroom, right? Because we're talking about driver's ed so it's obviously going to be in a high school. And they're in front of a classroom as would be an English teacher, a social studies teacher, a home economics teacher, or anything like that, correct?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Yeah. And so I have high school age children. I like knowing that the administrative staff of our high school evaluates those teachers and is aware of what's going on in their classrooms every day. I'm sure most of the people in the floor appreciate that, too. I'm also thinking about the point of view of let's say the principal or the superintendent of that district. Don't you think they should know what's going on in the classrooms in their buildings?"

"I do. And I appreciate you saying that because I want to follow up. We're dealing with major issues on the roads these days. These fatalities are going up on the road, we're dealing with worse driving these days than we've ever hard. So you're darn right I want to make sure the people that are 10100035.docx 57  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 teaching driving are evaluated just like everybody else. I mean we're talking about public safety. We're talking about an issue of people being more distracted when they drive, understanding the Rules of the Road less. And so my goal here is to make sure that we're evaluating teachers on a standard level to make sure they're teaching driving right. And I apologize that there's teacher shortage, and I apologize for all the issues that have been raised, but the bottom line is I want to make sure when kids are taught how to drive they are taught to drive properly. And that's what this is Bill is getting towards."

"I agree. And I… I think it's also important to recognize if there is inappropriate education going on in that room the school district is going to be held responsible for that. People are going to ask, how did you not know that Mr. or Ms. XYZ was saying these things to your students or letting this behavior go on in a classroom? And if we're not evaluating them how are our principals going to know that? So I think it's important that they're evaluated just like a math teacher, a physics teacher, like I said, an industrial arts teacher, a drama teacher, and you name it. So I appreciate you bringing this Bill forward. I think consistently respecting the role of teachers is going to help our teacher shortage and I think that's something this Bill does. So, thank you."

"Thank you."

"Representative Carroll to close."

"Well, I appreciate the spirited debate today on this Bill. This Bill is not an ego Bill. This is not trying to 10100035.docx 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 create any more problems with our teaching system. This is just making sure that people that are teaching driver's ed know how to teach driver's ed. I ask for an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. House Bill 2841 is an initiative of a friend who is going to be getting married soon and he wants a mayor to marry him.

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. House Bill 2643 amends the Home Repair and Remodeling Act. It gives seniors age 65 and older up to 15 days, versus the current 3, to cancel an agreement with a door-to-door contractor for home repair or remodeling services. Scam artists often disproportionally target seniors by showing up at their doorstep uninvited and offering to perform home repairs and either disappearing with the money or starting work and not finishing or adding on. This Bill simply gives seniors more time to carefully review a contract and seek input from family members, the Better Business Bureau, or legal counsel if they choose. This Bill is 10100035.docx 62  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 supported by the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and also the AARP. I welcome any questions."

"Chair recognizes Representative Keicher."

"She will."

"Thank you, Representative."

"Representative Mason to close."

"It's a good Bill…"

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Excuse me. The Chair recognizes Representative Weber."

"This would be for new projects following the passing of the Bill."

"Yeah. So it wouldn't be for new home construction. It's for home remodeling projects. And it's when the door-to-door salesman comes uninvited. So just shows up at the door and asks someone to sign a contract. It gives senior citizens a little bit more time. If the senior citizen were to pick up the phone and call a home remodeler and say, my roof needs repair it wouldn't apply."

"That's absolutely correct. That does happen. However, during those times… and I know you and I both see it in our districts those storm chasers come. And unfortunately there's so many predatory sales people a situation like that would happen if they just showed up at the door it would give seniors an extra amount of time to evaluate the contract."

"No. No. No. No."

"Absolutely. So it's my understanding that the contractor may opt to not start the work until the contract cancellation period is over."

"Absolutely."

"Thank you."

"Chair recognizes Representative Halpin."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Representative, is this your first Bill?"

"It is."

"I wanted to clarify that. I don't think anybody had asked. And one question I have on the Bill. If work is completed, the homeowner is obligated to pay the contractor for work performed, correct?"

"Correct."

"All right. Well I really can't give you a hard time about the substance of this Bill, but I want to say that I am extremely hurt and disappointed that you have not asked your seatmate yet to cosponsor the Bill. So please add me as a cosponsor and I urge a 'yes' vote."

"Thank you, Representative."

"Chair recognizes Representative Carroll."

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

"She will."

"So I have some questions of the Sponsor since this is her first Bill. Were you in one of the major newspapers in Chicago today?" 10100035.docx 65  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"I was."

"Oh, what newspaper would that have been?"

"That would be the Chicago Sun-Times."

"And what page were you on?"

"Two."

"Okay. Did they mention that you were a State Representative in that article?"

"I don't know if they did."

"Oh, well they didn't mention that. So you might want to reach out to the editor about that. Great Bill. Thank you so much for bringing it forward."

"Thank you so much."

"Chair recognizes Representative Mazzochi."

"She will."

"Well again, for work that's performed I think they would still be eligible for payment for that. There is the risk of cancellation because we do want to give seniors that extra time. And I understand that that's a little conflict, there's a little unintended consequences there. But again, for times like that where there are floods, where there are storms that's when the really predatory door-to-door sales people come out. So my hope would be that the seniors would reach out to contractors that their neighbors have used successfully and been, you know, been reliable, been truth… you know, truthful in their business dealings. I'm happy to work with the Senate Sponsor on this to try to create some wording that would adjust those situations, because I certainly wouldn't want to have a senior citizen with a flooded basement have to wait 15 days to get that work done. That's not the intent of the Bill. So I'm more than happy to be open to adjustments in the Senate."

"I appreciate that feedback. Thank you."

"Chair recognizes Representative Morrison."

"Chair recognizes Representative Ugaste."

"She will."

"Correct."

"Thank you."

"It does say if the work is signed at the home. And I'm happy to work on adjusting that wording as well. And then to point out from one of the previous concerns, on page four of the Bill, it does allow for a lien for unpaid work."

"Thank you."

"Leader Willis, the Chair recognizes you."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. Will the Sponsor yield please?"

"She will."

"Does this Bill say that once a contract is signed that no work can be done for 15 days?"

"It does not."

"Okay. And does this Bill state that if the contractor does the work and it is done satisfactory that they must wait 15 days to get paid?"

"No."

"Okay. And it does require the homeowner to pay for all completed work? That's very clearly stated in here."

"Correct."

"But what this Bill does do is it protects our senior citizens. It protects them… to the Bill. It protects them from people that try to sell them a quick sale of goods in telling them one thing and having them sign something else. It gives them time to have another family member or even their 10100035.docx 70  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 lawyer look over the contract to make sure that they're not getting taken advantage of just because of their age and having a slick salesman come to there. It still puts all the protections in that you would expect for contractors to have. If they've done the work, they are still required to get paid, they still have the option to put in liens against them. This is a good Bill. It is a Bill that will protect our seniors. It doesn't do anything to any good upstanding contractor would want to have in there. It just allows the homeowner to have a little bit of extra time to have somebody else look over, if they want to, to make sure that they're not being taken advantage of. I think many of the concerns I'm hearing from the people on the other side of the aisle just aren't there. We have the protections in this Bill for our contractors. With that being said, I urge everybody to vote 'aye' on this Bill. Thank you."

"All right. Well first of all, thank you very much for bringing this Bill forward. It's very necessary. I know that we had conversations about it yesterday. I have one small request of you. Is there any chance that you wouldn't mind adding the language of sesame as an allergy? And it's something I've been working through. Actually this is serious this is not… this is serious that the Federal Government is starting to put sesame on as a major allergen. And the more and more I deal with food allergies because of my daughter 10100035.docx 77  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 who you know was here last week. Sesame is a major food allergen that we're not doing enough for. So could you mind adding the word sesame on the training please?"

"I really appreciate it. This is a great Bill. Again, the more training we have for food allergies, the safer a kid's life. I encourage an 'aye' vote. Congratulations on a great first Bill."

"Chair recognizes Representative Williams."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He will."

"Representative, I love that you're working on such an important topic, but I do have a just a couple questions for you."

"Have you spoken with anyone from the Illinois Restaurant Association on this Bill?"

"Okay. How did that conversation go, because I know that we made some significant changes to how allergy training and education occurred? I know Representative Kifowit also worked on this issue as well. I'm wondering if we're passing a little bit… this item a little prematurely or if we've had a full conversation, the opportunity to vet this. Because, 10100035.docx 78  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 you know, I know that there's allergy training is normally eight hours. I feel like there's…"

"Okay. So are you saying that the Restaurant Association is supportive of the Bill, neutral? Have they weighed in?"

"Okay."

"Well, I have heard from the Restaurant Association that they do still have remaining concerns about covering all the topics necessary to protect customers as well as their business. I think this is a unique issue because regardless of what your position is on how to accomplish that we all do share the same goal of making sure that customers are protected and people are aware of allergies. I'm wondering if you will agree to have further conversations with the actual practitioners and those that will be operating the restaurants and perhaps if changes need stop be made consider 10100035.docx 79  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 making those ongoing. Because I have… just in my area alone I have a ton of restaurants, bars, and food service organizations and institutions, and I just don’t want to place a burden on them without them be fully part of that conversation."

"Okay."

"Sure. Yeah."

"I mean, I think what you're saying makes some sense, but I'm not a restaurant operator or owner so I don't know what the reasoning was for passing the training as it was prior. So I would respectfully request… and I'm… again, I'm excited that you're working on this issue, but I'd request that before we impose something on restaurants that may be inconsistent with some of their goals or may even be a bit of a rollback of something they worked hard to implement that you would consider having a more robust conversation about this." 10100035.docx 80  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019

"Okay."

"Yeah. And I think the point…"

"Great. I do think the issue… what I'm hearing from and what I've heard from owners in my district is that we don't want to roll back the number of hours and they feel while consolidation has some benefits and there's certainly merit to streamlining the process from a business owner stand point, there is some concern about limiting and making the training insufficient by not covering all the topics in that time period. So that's what I'd recommend and perhaps consider expanding the hours or somehow being able to accomplish both goals."

"Well, I'm glad and appreciate that you seem like you're a stellar student, but I still think that some of the restaurants may have a bit of disagreement with you on that part. But I look forward to hearing how those conversations go. Thank you."

"Chair recognizes Representative Feigenholtz."

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

"He will."

"Representative Murphy, you and I had a brief conversation about the allergen training. It happened to have been a Bill I worked on two years ago. And I told you that I actually was curious myself about the difference between food handler and the allergen Bill and that I actually took both of those tests, remember?"

"So the food… the allergen Bill was a very specific test. It was about a 15- to 20-minute test and it was very, very different from any other test. It went into great detail as compared to food handler or possibly the restaurant manager test. How many minutes in the restaurant manager test is the allergen part?"

"But how much… do you know how long…"

"As the previous speaker asked, how many… what percentage of this… first of all, is there an in-class allergen training available that is a nationally recognized and approved test?"

"So you don't know if there actually is a national standard in a classroom for allergen training? Is that what you're telling me?"

"Well…"

"Is this… when is the effective date on this Bill."

"No, I mean on the…"

"Does this have an immediate effective date?"

"I really have an appreciation for what you're trying to do. I have noticed that testing people online because we live in a very transient society where you don't have to wait to walk into a classroom and sign up for it, you can actually do it online, get a certificate, and then the next day you've got your certificate just like basset or food handler. So, you know, I appreciate what you're trying to do and I don't want to take up any more time, but I also agree with some of the comments about… that came out of the previous speaker about our concerns about this because this Bill may not be soup yet. So I will, you know, I'm not going to tell people not to support it, but I think that we should think very carefully as it moves to the Senate that when it comes back that it has some language that is affective so that we don't compromise this. There are… people lose children and family members because they… because of allergies. That chills small business, that chills restaurants, and the hospitality industry is a place… one of the largest growing sectors in the state. So I want to be very careful with what we're doing here, Representative. As I said, I think we can move this to the Senate but it really does need more work."

"Representative Murphy to close."

"Representative Ortiz."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I stand before you today presenting my first Bill. House Bill 3487 attempts to help residents of Illinois enroll in a health insurance plan in the Illinois marketplace. It would require that all hospitals to post in each facility with an emergency room in a conspicuous place in the emergency room a notice with information on how to enroll in a health insurance plan in the Illinois health insurance marketplace. I am bringing this Bill forward just because of the fact that under our new White House administration there has been a lot of cuts and outreach on how to enroll into the Illinois health insurance marketplace or just in the insurance marketplace in general. 10100035.docx 86  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 So I please ask for an 'aye' vote. And I'm open to answering any questions. Thank you."

"The Chair recognizes Representative Ford."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Representative, you said this is your first Bill and I thank you for bringing it. It sounds like a very important Bill, but you asked me if I would support it, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"And I asked you a few questions and hopefully did the things that I asked. So I'll start asking you those questions. How many hospitals are there in Illinois?"

"A lot. About 250 or more to be exact, though."

"And I also asked you to go talk to all of them, did you?"

"I unfortunately only got to reach out to one."

"That's too bad. Now is this just for human hospitals or animal hospitals?"

"This just applies to human hospitals at the moment."

"So you did not do as you promised or said that you would do, go and talk to every hospital, and because of that I'm going to have urge a 'no' vote until you do that. Please vote 'no'."

"Chair recognizes Representative Davidsmeyer."

"He will."

"All of them."

"Yeah. So under the new White House administration enrollment in the ACA has become more difficult. The enrollment period for 2017-2018 period was half… was half what it was in recent years, 45 days as opposed to the previous 90-day window. My intention with this Bill is just to make it… create another avenue that our residents of Illinois are aware on how they can enroll into health insurance. I think that it's a bit… it costs the state a bit more, a lot more if we don't have our residents enrolled into insurance, so."

"Chair recognizes Representative Andrade."

"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He will."

"I just… Representative, I just want to know is there any in your language what type of paper they need to use? Is it scented or non-scented or font size? Just want… or is it recyclable paper?"

"No, I didn't clarify any of those items."

"Okay. I just wanted to make sure that we're not killing a lot of trees out there. But it's a good Bill, we'll support it. And… we're here for you. Thank you very much."

"He will."

"Representative Ortiz, you were very kind, and you were asking Members about supporting your Bill. And you were talking to me about putting… posting a sign in the emergency room and you used the word conspicuous. I'm just wondering, do you expect hospitals to put these notices in the actual emergency… like in the surgical emergency room? I mean, emergency rooms are big places. Where are you putting this? What does conspicuous mean?"

"That is a great question. At somewhere where I believe, you know, our residents of Illinois can immediately walk into an emergency room and figure out this is where I can go to enroll into the health insurance marketplace. But it… this does not have to be within a specific room, it's anywhere within the facility of an emergency room."

"So it could be in the waiting room of the emergency room, right?"

"Yes, that is correct."

"Or the hallway of an emergency room?"

"Yes, that is correct."

"Okay. Well I was going to vote 'no' but now that you answered my question so well, I'm going to vote 'no' and then vote 'yes'. Thank you."

"Thank you."

"The Chair recognizes Representative Butler."

"He will."

"It does… this would be just a notice with information. I think I would leave it up to the hospital to figure out whether or not it be a poster."

"Not currently, but the Department of Public Health will be working with us on this on how to move this forward."

"It's just the hospital that's responsible for putting it up."

"The Department of Public Health will ensure that it's posted."

"So in connection with the Governor proclaiming April as Seed Month in Illinois and to celebrate our state's agricultural heritage, I would to take a brief moment of time in each Session day in April to talk about a seed of the day that's important to our state. And I'd like to start today by talking about my favorite seed which is pumpkin. So pumpkins have been grown in North America for over 5 thousand years, longer even than corn and today are a very important crop to Illinois. We grow more pumpkins than any other U.S. state. And in fact 90 to 95 percent of all pumpkins processed in the U.S. are grown in Illinois on over 12 thousand acres of land. That means that Illinoisans, figuratively, have their proverbial finger in nearly every pumpkin pie the U.S., which also happens to be the official state pie since 2015. Pumpkins are incredibly useful. Their flowers are edible and Native 10100035.docx 107  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 35th Legislative Day 4/2/2019 Americans wove strips of dry pumpkin skin into mats. Pumpkin flesh can be baked, boiled, roasted, fried, or dried and it's full of beta-carotene, an important antioxidant that can protect against heart disease and may help reduce the risks of developing certain types of cancer. Beyond the yummy pumpkin flesh roasted pumpkin seeds also make a tasty treat. They contain healthy fats, magnesium and zinc, and can be processed to extract pumpkin seed oil. Pumpkins seeds are also high in fiber and contain tryptophan which may help improve sleep quality. So in conclusions, both pumpkin and pumpkin seeds are important component of Illinois agricultural success and certainly worthy of celebrating during Illinois Seed Month. Thank you."
