It relates to Article 6 pensions for the Chicago Fire Department and it creates transparency regarding the cost of living adjustment that is granted to Chicago firefighters. By some strange sort of quirk of law that was developed here, participants in the Chicago Fire Pension Fund are… their cost of living is determined by their birthdate. And because a certain COLA, one and a half percent simple, is emblazoned in law the city has used this to structurally underfund the pensions for years, when ultimately all of the 10100038.docx 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 firefighters who receive Tier 1 receive a three percent simple COLA. This puts the law in line with what's actually being granted, makes sure that there is transparency about what the benefit structure is. And makes sure that the payments are calculated on a actuarially sound basis. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Batinick."

"He indicates that he will."

"Sure."

"So, what it does is… speaking to… and I think it's important to understand the change in the law based on the context of history. So, when the Article was drafted for Chicago firefighters they created a born on date. So that someone who entered fire service that their COLA was determined not by the year that they entered, or the years of service that they provided, or the date that they retired but rather by the year that they were born on. And it's a really strange quirk in the law. And by agreement, every five years 10100038.docx 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 or so, we move it… we move the born on date up. Because of course Tier 1 downstate police and fire get a three percent compound COLA, Tier 1 Chicago firefighters by law are getting a one and a half simple. We move it up to a three percent simple. But by leaving the one and a half percent provision written into the law we allow the city to calculate their payment based on that and thus structurally underfund the account."

"That's my understanding."

"That's my understanding, yes."

"So this, of course, is a provision that was drafted and has been done in this Legislature by… instead of where they move that born on date up by five years every couple of years. This is not a hit. And it's certainly not directed at any one mayor. This has been fought under Mayor Emmanuel's administration as well. But again, this is about providing transparency as to what the actual benefits are going to be."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. House Bill 3018 is a simple Bill that will help provide more awareness to food allergies. 10100038.docx 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 This Bill was created after a constituent of Representative Kifowit's suffered an allergic reaction while dining in a restaurant. And as a long time food allergy advocate I know that that's a story that happens more often than any of us realize. So, what this does is it just creates a posting requirement for food service establishments to post asking diners that if they have a food allergy to speak with the certified member in the restaurant about it. It… there is a posting already provided on the website for them to use. And if they've already certified another state's posting requirement… if they've already satisfied that then they don't need to do an additional posting. So, it's a very simple way of just creating additional awareness. There's really no cost to it. And I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Carroll."

"Thank you. Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. To the Bill. This is… this is another piece of great legislation addressing the issue that we're dealing with food allergies. And as somebody has I had my daughter here a couple of weeks ago, just recently we were in a restaurant and she ordered a hamburger and she asked if there was an allergens on it and there was mayonnaise on there despite them not telling us. And so the way that these things happen and the stuff that we're trying to do to help people with food allergies, we're making a huge difference.

There are some very reasonable exceptions, 10100038.docx 56  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 including when the cost of purchasing elsewhere is 12 percent or more, when the items are not reasonably available in the United States, and for pharmaceuticals and other things. It's a great Bill to support American products and American business. And I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Halbrook."

"We'll move to the Order of Standard Debate."

"Sponsor yields."

"Right. So, I was not present in committee. I've recently taken on this Bill, but it's my understanding that it was because the original Bill listed the… that the cost cannot be more than a reasonable amount and that was amended to make it 12 percent, a specific item. That's not it, sorry. Oh okay. So there was an Amendment, pardon me, to change the definition of commercially available item to match the federal definition."

"Well, I think the Canadians would like us to buy Canadian. So, I'm sure that they would prefer that we leave the options completely open and not give preferential treatment to American products."

"We are not sure. However, again, there is that provision that should something outside the United States be available at 12 percent or less of a reduction there would be an exception made. And so, the purchasers can then pursue those options."

"Is that a question?"

"I'm not aware of violating any federal trade agreements, no."

"Representative Batinick."

"I do not." 10100038.docx 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019

"So, Representative Batinick, I am more concerned with keeping our business here in the United States and making sure that we're supporting U.S. businesses."

"You tell me. I… I don't know."

"Perhaps… perhaps they… that would not be profitable for them to reduce their costs that much. We have no way of knowing." 10100038.docx 59  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019

"Representative Mazzochi."

"She indicates she will."

"That's correct."

"Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration monitors the quality of that… those items. And so, we would not want 10100038.docx 60  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 to create and option where people would be going outside of FDA approved pharmaceuticals."

"No, no, no. Absolutely. The idea is that when it is practical we should be choosing, as a state, American made products to support American companies. So, if it becomes not cost effective to do so, there's an exception. If there are quality issues, there is an exception. If there are safety issues, such as purchasing pharmaceuticals that haven't been approved by the FDA, there is an exception. So, we're saying when those exceptions don't exist, when it's cost effective, when it's safe, when it's reasonable, when the products are available, let's choose American made products. And I think that's a very reasonable solution."

"The chief procurement manager will be determining those exceptions."

"Well, I think we view these as guidelines that are meant to be reasonable. Certainly, the chief procurement manager will be evaluating. I don't think it's going to be a case of, well it's 49 and a half percent so. This is really just intended to support American companies."

"Yeah, I don't think that's the case. I think that our purchasers will be making their decisions and going about. But when they find a situation that perhaps they find is unreasonable to buy American products they will then go to the chief procurement officer and determine whether an exception is in the… is in order."

"They won't be sending it…"

"…to the chief procurement officer."

"They won't be sending it…"

"…every purchase…"

"Excuse me."

"Absolutely not. And again…"

"…the chief procurement officer will not be auditing everyone's individual purchases. They will be there to provide guidance if the person doing the purchasing is uncertain about whether or not they can satisfy this rule or not."

"Please proceed."

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

"She indicates she will."

"Representative, just a little bit of clarification. As we're in the middle of a trade war right now, which products apply and which products do not apply to your Bill?"

"The products that apply are considered commercially available off the shelf items. So, nothing custom made, nothing that's not readily available. Again, things like pharmaceuticals and things that are covered under the FDA are not included. So, really just standard items that can easily be purchased." 10100038.docx 64  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019

"Okay. Is your Bill going to be consistent with NAFTA? But even as we're now renegotiating NAFTA is there going to be any issues with the free trade agreement that we have with the Canadian and the Mexican Government?"

"Since… since we're not quite certain about where NAFTA is going at this point, we really have no way of knowing whether… whether it's going to coordinate with that or not when their changes are made."

"But my point is is that NAFTA is still a valid free trade agreement. That while we're looking at the new free trade agreement, potentially, maybe it would be ratified, maybe it won't but as it stands right now NAFTA is essentially the law of the land. That is a treaty. And my question is, whether or not this Bill is in contravention to the terms of NAFTA? And the only reason why I ask is that I don't want us to buy a WTO claim."

"We can determine that and get back to you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Representative Stava-Murray."

"Thank you."

"Do… do you rise in support or opposition?"

"I just have a question for clarification."

"Please proceed."

"So, I have a question for clarification on how it's determined whether or not something exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all the components in terms of these commercially available off the shelf items. So, are we relying on the companies themselves to be making postings? For 10100038.docx 65  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 instance, if someone's making a procurement purchase off of Amazon from a small business that's based in the United States that's a manufacturer that they… the procurement officer may not have any way of knowing from their procurement what percentage of the item that they're purchasing is. And the business itself may not want to disclose that information based on competitive interest and needs. And so, I guess my question is, how is that determination made? And are we putting an undue burden on businesses and on the procurement officers to do a lot of additional legwork when it comes to that type of procurement?"

"I think…"

"And ultimately, I guess, potentially hurting American businesses, too."

"Sure. It doesn't require any additional reporting on behalf of the business. So, the business wouldn't have to do any additional work to show where things were manufactured. Right now, there are regulations that say when a company can or cannot designate something as 'Made in America'. So, I think it's reasonable to expect that by going by that designation that already exists that that's how decisions can be made without doing additional research."

"Okay. Okay. Thank you."

"Representative Halpin, do you rise in support or opposition?"

"Support of course, Madam Speaker."

"Please proceed."

"Thank you. And I'll go right to the Bill. So, what this Bill is about is every one of us as a purchaser in our home 10100038.docx 66  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 lives can make the choice to spend money on a 'Made in USA' product. The State of Illinois is acting as a purchaser in these cases. We should be able to put our money where our mouth is and say, we want to support 'Made in the USA'. The question about whether or not something is made in the USA, how is a procurement officer going to figure this out is not a real question in the sense that our procurement officers are going to put out their requests for proposals, they're going to have specifications on the bids that they're… that they're putting out there. And these manufacturers that are going to be providing these goods are going to want to advertise that they're 'Made in the USA'. They're going to have to comply with the Federal Trade Commission guidelines on what is 'Made in the USA'. Those numbers are going to readily available. And so, I think a lot of this is much to do about nothing. And I strongly suggest a 'yes' vote."

"Representative Weber."

"Do you rise in support or in opposition?"

"Please proceed."

"She indicates she will."

"If… if the items that they're purchasing are commercially available off the shelf products, then yes. So for example, if you're buying asphalt in bags, or however it's sold, then that's something that's readily commercially available. And yeah, you would… we would want to, as a state, seek to, if it's reasonable, purchase the American made concrete or asphalt or…"

"Okay."

"Okay. Representative Weber, this is about the purchasing of state agencies. So, not general contractors in the area. This specifically relates to state purchasing. And again, it doesn't require any additional reporting or research. It's about making the best effort to buy American products when reasonable."

"Thank you."

"Representative Mason, I have just a simple question for you. And the question is, will this Bill make America and Illinois great again?"

"Well, I believe it will. You know, we all… we all talk a whole lot about America and putting our, you know, value and our trust in American products and American workers and American companies. And now is the time to really put our money where our mouths are, right? So, as Illinois… as purchasers we don't have to be purchasing from China or Mexico or other places. We can choose to make a conscious effort, just like Representative Halpin was saying that when we decide to buy things if it's reasonable, if it's cost effective, if it's safe, let's choose… let's take the time to choose to support America. And yeah, making it great. Absolutely."

"Representative Mason to close."

"Thank you. I think that very much was what I would say in my close. This is not an effort to tie anybody down, to cost Illinois taxpayers more money. Again, it's when the cost is reasonable, when things are readily available, when the quality is the same or better let's choose to buy American products. It's as simple as that. It doesn't have to be more complicated. It's not asking people to spend tons more money, to accept lesser quality, to wait longer to get those goods. It's saying if it's there, if it's reasonable let's make the choice to support America. Thank you."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 356 pass?' All in favor vote 'aye'; all opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. On 10100038.docx 69  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 this question, there are 71 voting in 'favor', 35 voting 'against', 1 voting 'present'. And this Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. House Bill 2519, Representative Slaughter. Please read the Bill."

"Representative Slaughter."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Members of the House. House Bill 2519 creates the Law Enforcement Gang Database Information Act. Many of us are familiar or at least know that our law enforcement agencies maintain a gang database. However, many of us don't know how these agencies are utilizing these databases. Many of my constituents back home on the South Side of Chicago have a lot of concerns with this. They don't know how you get on the database, they don't know how you get off of the database. They don't know if there's documentation regarding if there's been interventions provided to some of these folks that are at risk. And so, there's been many calls. Many, many, many calls to eliminate the gang database. However, as a Sponsor, out of respect for law enforcement what we wanted to do was not eliminate the gang database but we do want to regulate it. It's very important that this Body understand that many of us in here are continually fighting against negative labeling, negative stereotypes. Being labeled a gangbanger is… is something that can really be associated with you for your entire life. Oftentimes there's a negative connotation that comes along with that. That means you're a criminal. In fact, these are synonymous words, in fact. And so, it's important that we be 10100038.docx 70  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 able to look at this certain policy and put forth something that is amenable, not just for the community but also law enforcement. What the Bill actually does is put forth really just four things. It requires… it requires law enforcement agencies to identify what personnel would be authorized to access gang data… the gang database. Secondly, it also would require that records not be disclosed for the purposes of employment, education, licensing or housing and provides exceptions for law enforcement and national security. It also puts forth provisions regarding the data security aspect of this. You know, what personnel will have passwords to access the gang database. And then also, does put forth some provisions in regards to a review and purge process for law enforcements. Again, I want to commend law… the law enforcement community as well as the Illinois State Police for responding to these concerns, for putting forth what they believe are strong professional standard and policies around this… this important matter. Happy to take any questions. I urge a 'yes' vote."

"Representative Batinick."

"He indicates she will."

"Of course."

"Yeah, they were neutral. Law enforcement is neutral on the Bill. We worked very, very closely with the Illinois 10100038.docx 71  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 State Police. It's important to note that this is their language that they put forth."

"The Amendment is their language, that's correct."

"Well again, the original Bill was to actually eliminate…"

"…the gang database."

"Their Amendment puts forth suggested standard practices in regards to how to regulate the gang database."

"That's in the Amendment. That's correct."

"I… did somebody answer that. No, I do know that this Bill was taken off of the watch list with the Amendment. I do that… I do know that much. There's maybe some Members that don't think that I'm going far enough. So yeah, I may get some 'no' votes from some of them." 10100038.docx 72  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019

"Yeah, we should go further."

"Representative Ford, we're on the Order of Short Debate. And we've already had one speaker in opposition."

"Was he in opposition?"

"Excuse me, one speaker speaking in… I'm so sorry, I'm on autopilot here. We've had one other speaker who… do you rise in support? Please proceed."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a few questions for the Sponsor. Representative, if this Bill becomes law what happens to the Cook County Repeal?"

"It… good question, Representative. It wouldn't interfere with local municipalities to act on their database."

"And under this Bill would provide any guidance for how a person could be added to the database? I don't see that. Under what conditions?"

"No, it wouldn't add… there's no provisions in the Amendment that would speak to how someone gets on the database. However, there is a… an important provision that does look at the review and purge process."

"Thank you, Representative."

"Seeing no further questions the question is… seeing no further discussion, the question is, 'Shall House Bill 2519 pass?' All those in favor vote 'aye'; all opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. On this question, there are 78 voting in 10100038.docx 73  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 'favor', 34 voting 'against', 0 voting 'present'. And this Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. We have next House Bill 2233, Representative Thapedi. Out of the record. We have House Bill 2078, Representative Stuart. Please read the Bill."

"Representative Stuart."

"Thank you. We passed two versions of this in the last General Assembly and we're concerned about the teacher shortage facing all over our state. And this is a measure that's really going to help us combat that. It simply phases in an increase in the minimum teacher salary by the 2023-2024 school year. And I would appreciate an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Batinick."

"She indicates she will."

"Yes."

"We'll go to Standard Debate. She indicates she will yield."

"One second. So… yeah, so we… we have information from ISBE and its broken down in terms of the tiers of schools because when we look at our adequacy targets in the new 10100038.docx 74  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 evidence-based funding model. And it's a percent change in cost at about a half of a percent among the different tiers."

"So overall, looking at like changes in the adequacy target for the different districts across all the tiers in the aggregates it's around the 130, 140 million dollar mark."

"That would be across the four years, is my understanding the numbers that they gave me."

"Representative Bourne."

"She indicates she will."

"I do. There's at least 754 districts that employ at least one educator making less than $40 thousand."

"It… like 754."

"Let me… one second. I do have that, I just can't find the…"

"That sounds similar. Here it is, sorry. I have data from the ISB that says that more than 525 of the 852 districts offer new teachers with a bachelor's degree a salary that's under 40 thousand."

"Yes. Yes."

"It is full-time."

"No."

"So, I want to make sure it's clear that this is… it's a 5 year phase in. So, we're not having a district jumping from maybe 27 thousand and going to 40 thousand in one year. So, it's a five-year phase in in the Bill."

"Yeah, and I think discussing that, you know, three percent cap is something that we need to take on in this Body."

"I… I think our school districts are concerned with the fact that they're not able to get the high quality teachers that they want in their classrooms, that they have teachers frequently leave positions after one or two years because they are seeking better compensation in other districts. And we want to make sure that those districts are able to hold on to the teachers that they have. And we want to make sure that our students in our classrooms have high quality educators."

"No. There'd be no exemptions. We don't want to send a message that we value different teachers in different part of the state above others."

"No. And I can… I… I imagine that the teachers who… in order to make ends meet are servers in the restaurants on the weekends and in the evenings and are working in home construction over the summer would like to be able to make a living where they can support themselves and their family without having to have second and third jobs. I've been a classroom teacher for a long time. I know the need for the resources. I also know that if I can pay my bills, it helps 10100038.docx 79  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 me be a better teacher. And when I can't, it's really hard for me to focus on what's going on in the classroom."

"Representative Stava-Murray, do you rise in support or opposition?"

"In support."

"Please proceed."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she will."

"So, I was wondering how easy is it to pay the bills in Southern Illinois with $30 thousand a year? What… what kind of programs could someone qualify for if they were, let's say a single parent of 3 and were only making $30 thousand a year?"

"I… I had a hard time hearing the question? I'm sorry."

"Oh, no problem. So, are there governmental programs that someone would qualify for if they only made say $30 thousand a year in the State of Illinois?"

"Sure. Sure. There's, you know, housing assistance and you know SNAP benefits and WIC and all of those things that help just feed people."

"Yeah. And is it conceivable that right now we have teachers in the State of Illinois who also would qualify for those programs if this was their main job?"

"It… it's not just conceivable, it's a fact."

"And so, what… what does this Bill do in terms of changing their pay?"

"This… this Bill allows, like I said, teachers to know that they can meet their responsibilities at their home and to their families and focus on teaching the children in their classroom." 10100038.docx 81  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019

"To the Bill. I rise in strong support of this Bill. I think that it's absolutely criminal that we could have a full-time working parent and when we're talking about teachers we're more talking about working mothers, so we could have a full-time working mother of three who is reliant on government subsidies because her government job and her job for a school district doesn't pay enough to pay the bills and feed her family. So, I think that's just awful. We need to be making sure that we aren't giving teachers poverty wages. So, I urge strong support."

"Representative Willis, do you rise in support or opposition? Please proceed."

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

"She indicates she will."

"So this is a phase in. Is that correct?"

"Correct. A five year phase in."

"So, the first year which would be 2020-2021 their salary would be just a little bit over $32 thousand a year? If you go and you put that as a full-time position that comes to… I did some calculations, it comes to $16 an hour. Is that correct, roughly?"

"Yes. Roughly, 16."

"Okay. And then as we phase it in on the final year, the fifth year at $40 thousand a year that would come to a salary or hourly rate of approximately $20 an hour?"

"That's my understanding, yes."

"Okay. I… I just want to make sure our math was the same. You're the math teacher, so I know that. We're… are we or are we not facing teacher shortages? Certainly throughout this 10100038.docx 82  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 state and I would venture to say more so in downstate. Is that not correct?"

"Yeah. In the area where I live, specifically, we are facing teacher shortages and the biggest draw is the State of Missouri where… and they are paying there in the $40 thousand range, which is why we're losing our teachers."

"So, it's very easy for them to take a 15 minute drive across the river and be able to get a substantially higher salary for the same type of work?"

"Yeah, they can drive across the river. They don't even have to pay a toll and they can go to work and make a lot more money."

"Okay. To the Bill. This is something… we passed this last year because we overwhelmingly, in the House and the Senate, saw value in our teachers. I think we need to continue showing value to our teachers. This is not making any teacher… to only make $20 an hour at the end of a 5 year stint is not going to make you really super wealthy. It's going to certainly have you under the $250 thousand household for the fair tax as we move forward with that. But it is going to be able to maybe not make you have to have a second or a third job in addition to working at your regular classrooms. I'm going to urge the entire Body to seriously look at this. If you value teachers, you need to value what we pay them. These are the people that we put our most precious members of our family in their hands. And we need to make sure we have good quality teachers in there. This is the minimum that we can do, having them start with a salary that is not an insult to 10100038.docx 83  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019 the amount of work and the hard education that they go forward with. I urge this Body to vote 'aye' on this."

"Representative Caulkins, for what reason…"

"Do you rise in support or opposition?"

"Please proceed."

"They're located in lots of different regions of the state."

"Most… but downstate primarily."

"Not directly."

"This is us wanting to make sure that our school districts compensate teachers at a level that's appropriate."

"We appropriate funds towards K-12 education, which is part of the funding that goes towards teacher salaries."

"Yes, we do."

"We do. It will eventually be $15 an hour."

"We do do that."

"We have larger classes because districts cannot find teachers to hire. Our schools of higher education are not having students enter the education programs because they don't want to go into the teaching field because they know that they will be paid poverty wages. That's why you end up having to have larger class sizes because you have a third grade class that has no teacher. So, you have to divvy those kids up into the other classes. Or you have teacher… you have students that are taught for an entire year, sometimes two or three years of their young career by substitute teachers. That's what we're trying to fix."

"There's… it's not a one issue why we don't have teachers. But the pay certainly is a big part of it. When you do not know that you can pay your mortgage or when you have to apply for food subsidies, even though you have a full-time job, it's very demoralizing. Makes is hard to be a teacher."

"Representative Butler, do you rise in support or opposition?"

Speaker Burke: "Please proceed. And this will be the last speaker."

"She indicates she will."

"I think I have that somewhere. While I find it though, I can tell you that we already have in State Statute…"

"In our State Statute we already have a minimum salary…"

"…which is $9 thousand."

"Do you… across the entire state or do you want it by a region? Do you have a…"

"Okay. It's in the ballpark of about 63 thousand."

"Representative Stuart to close."

"Voting in favor of this is a message to our teachers and to our future teachers that we are trying to grow in our state, that we respect the hard work that they do, and that we value the input that they have in our children's lives. And that we understand the difficulties that they face and that we want them to stay and teach in Illinois. And I urge an 'aye' vote." 10100038.docx 88  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 38th Legislative Day 4/9/2019
