"Have all recorded themselves who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. There being 114 Members answering the roll call, a quorum is present. Representative Bryant, for what reason do you seek recognition?"

Let me introduce to you, Phoebe Lettiere and Beckett Lettiere. Phoebe is an eighth grader. Her favorite subject is social studies. And Beckett is a fifth grader who enjoys math. He enjoys math, and he didn’t say it just because Representative Stuart is a math professor. They are students at McClure Junior High School in Western Springs, a town that I proudly serve along with Representative Mazzochi and Leader Durkin. They are also here in Springfield with their dad, Brett, who's up in the balcony in the front row. Please welcome and give a warm Springfield welcome to Phoebe and Beckett Lettiere."

"Nice to have you with us. The Chair recognizes Representative Ramirez. For what reason do you seek recognition?"

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Point of personal privilege, please."

"Please proceed."

"Thank you. Good morning, House Members. I am really thrilled, today, because I want to welcome in the gallery EverThrive Illinois. If you could look to your left here, all the beautiful people in green. EverThrive works to improve the health of women, children, and families over their lifespan. They're having their Youth Advocacy Day today. Youth Advocacy Day's an annual event sponsored by EverThrive Illinois and the Illinois School-Based Health Alliance that brings youths from across the state to meet their Legislators and advocate on behalf of their school health centers. These are the health centers that we recognize in House Resolution 144 last month. I want to acknowledge the youth that are here from Marion High School. If we can give them a round of applause. Roosevelt High School, Senn High School, Evanston 10100039.docx 7  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 Township High School, and Uplift High School, who are here with us today.

So help me give them another round of applause. EverThrive Illinois, thank you for being here today."

"Welcome to Springfield. The Chair recognizes Representative Jones. What reason do you seek recognition?"

"Point of personal privilege."

"Please proceed."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today in the gallery joining me is the family of Tamara Clayton, who was shot and killed on I-57. Later on today I will be presenting… or this week… House Bill 331 in honor of Tamara Clayton. She was a postal worker for 25 years. She resided in Country Club Hills in Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin district. She was shot and killed on I-57 Expressway. In the past 6 years we've had 168 shootings on our expressways. House Bill 331 not only allows State Police and local police the opportunity to capture evidence and use that evidence for people who shoot on our expressways, but it also gives the family some semblance of justice. Today I'd like to recognize not only Tamara Clayton's sister, but the men and women who traveled down here to Springfield to recognize not only what we're doing today or this week for making sure that cameras capture this evidence and our local prosecutors are allowed to use this evidence. We have Alma Hill in the gallery, Albert Hill, her husband, Louise Baker, Janet Muhammad, Cynthia Ramsey, Marcia Martin, Don Wiershar, Onetta Outlaw, Deborah Davis, 10100039.docx 8  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 Arlene Mays-Johnson, community activist and recently elected Dalton Trustee, Andrew Holmes, and also Cynthia Dorsey. As I stated earlier, House Bill 331 allows us to work with our State Police Department. These 168 shootings that have happened on our expressway, they closed each and every one of those cases because they couldn’t make an arrest and didn’t have the ability to capture those shootings on our expressway. So today I ask for your indulgence. I ask that we say a prayer for the family, that we continue to do all that we can to make sure that our roads are safe not only for families, but we bring some justice to Tamara Clayton and her family, and our prayers are with you."

"The Members will take a moment of silence. Thank you, Representative. The Chair recognizes Representative Severin. For what reason do you seek recognition?"

"Thank you, welcome to Springfield. We have House Resolution 223, offered by Representative Brady. Mr. Clerk."

Speaker Manley: "Representative Brady is recognized on the Resolution."

"Thank you for being with us, welcome. Thank you. This Resolution was adopted on a previous day. Chair recognizes Representative Spain. For what reason do you seek recognition?"

"Please proceed."

"Welcome to Springfield, Katie. Chair recognizes Representative Scherer, for what reason do you seek recognition?"

"Thank you. Point of personal privilege."

"Please proceed."

"I was just going… I was going to just add on to what Representative Brady had said. I'm an ISU alum and I just thought it might be nice if anybody on the House Floor who is an alumni of Illinois State would like to wave their hands to the audience so they would know there are a lot of Illinois State grads that are now Representatives."

"Chair recognizes Representative Sommer."

"Please proceed."

"So happy you're with us. Thank you for being here. The Chair recognizes Representative Tarver. For what reason do you seek recognition?"

"Point of personal privilege."

"Please proceed."

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, just want to introduce you to my special guest for today, the real Representative Tarver, Charleigh, my daughter. She's a kindergartener at Skinner North. She plays the violin, she loves to read, and what else?" Tarver, Charleigh: "And I love you. I mean, I'm six years old. And I also love to play with my dad."

First, I don't know if she's still in the gallery, she may have ducked out, but my good friend, Susan McCuistion… McCuistion, sorry, from back home who is here for Leadership Illinois. I would love everybody to at least welcome her for the record. Thank you. And… and I also want to take a moment to recognize some ladies that you may have seen in the rotunda yesterday, my friend, Annie Williams, and her fellow handmaidens up in the gallery. They are here standing vigil to remind us all of the importance of preserving reproductive rights of women. It's an important reminder and I want to thank them for being here with us."

"The Chair recognizes Leader Willis for the purpose of an announcement."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. The Democrats will caucus immediately in Room 114. We will return to the floor after caucus."

And they've shared their interests with me, swimming, Dungeons & Dragons, baseball, basketball. I did ask the question, are either going to go into politics? But we have a future paleontologist and civil engineer joining us today. Welcome boys."

"Welcome to the House. Members, we're going to be proceeding, as I said, to Bills on Third Reading. To re- familiarize you with the rules of Short Debate, which is what we were going to be on, we will have one Member in opposition. And without further ado, Representative Bristow, House Bill 3468. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative Bristow."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members of the House. Today I'm presenting House Bill 3468. This legislation would require hospitals and health care facilities to make reasonable efforts to have closed captioning on televisions activated at all times. There is no penalty involved in this legislation and it just ask that a reasonable accommodation be made. This is an initiative of the Impact Center of Illinois of Alton to ensure that individuals who are hearing impaired are still able to enjoy television in health care centers or facilities and I share that goal. I would appreciate a 'yes' vote. Thank you."

"The Chair recognizes Leader Batinick." 10100039.docx 19  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019

"Correct."

"But it's nice talking to you anyways, Leader. The question is, 'Should House Bill 3468… Representative Bristow, do you have anything in closing?"

"I appreciate an 'aye' vote."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 3468 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?

This Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On Page 21 of the Calendar, House Bill 2303, Representative Buckner. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative Buckner."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. House Bill 2303 amends the registrant violation provisions of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. It provides that it is unlawful for any person knowingly to use or possess a prescribers Illinois Controlled Substance license or the United States Drug Enforcement Association registration number. This Bill is to provide greater accessibility of these numbers and… I'm sorry. This 10100039.docx 20  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 Bill is made with the purpose to strengthen the protections offered by Section 406, which are limited in scope and in need of bolstering in light of the current climate.

This Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On Page 20 of the Calendar, House Bill 2040, Representative Cassidy. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative Cassidy."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members of the House. House Bill 2040 seeks to complete something that has been public policy in the state or several years. We have had a ban on for-profit, privately operated prisons. This would add civil detention facilities to that. This is an issue that's been kicking around in the state for some time. The reality of the for profit prison industry is that this is an industry that has been plagued by concerns about the health and safety not only of the people that are held there, but of the people that work there. And given that we were so forward thinking as to create this ban in the first place, I believe that it's proper for us to complete that circle and add civil detention 10100039.docx 21  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 to that… to that prohibition. And I look forward to your questions."

"The Chair recognizes Leader Wehrli."

"She will yield."

"Yes, it has. There were concerns because there are some county jails that rent space, but they wanted to ensure that they could continue to do so and the Amendment clarifies that."

"Seeing no further debate, the question is, 'Shall House Bill 2040 pass?' All in favor vote 'yes'; all opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Batinick, Hammond, Marron, Parkhurst, Unes. Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. On this question, 85 voting in 'favor', 26 voting 'opposed', 0 voting 'present'. This Bill, received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On page 19 of the Calendar, Representative Bennett, with Representative Meier presenting, we have House Bill 344. Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Meier."

"We miss Representative Bennett an awful lot. The… there's no further debate. Seeing no further debate, on this question, 'Shall House Bill 344 pass?' All voting in favor vote 'yes'; opposed vote 'no'. 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. With 113 voting in 'favor', 0 'opposed', 0 voting 'present', this Bill, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On page 23 of the Calendar, House Bill 3427, Representative Conroy. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative Conroy."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today this Bill is going to be known as Mikayla's Law. About a year ago the NAACP from DuPage 10100039.docx 23  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 County brought me this story and then introduced me to Jennifer, the mom of 18-month-old Mikayla. Sadly, Mikayla's four-year-old sister ran a bath while her mom was not… not aware and the four year old put Mikayla in the bath. Within three seconds Jennifer was there to get her daughter out. And sadly within three seconds, because there was no safety valve on their water heater, that little girl had third-degree burns throughout her entire body, and sadly passed away because of it. This has been very difficult for this family, and it has been quite a journey. They sued the water heater company and won, but made the decision instead of taking a settlement to commit themselves to changing this and making sure it never happened to another child or another family. So this legislation will prevent that from happening again. This will put a safety valve… require safety valves be put on water heaters so that it can never happen again. I ask for your 'aye' vote."

"Chair recognizes Leader Whirl."

"This will be placed on Standard Debate."

"Chair recognizes Leader Wheeler."

"She will yield."

"Yes, thank you very much. We are continuing to work together, and I think we have the same goal in mind, and I believe we will make that happen."

"Chair recognizes Representative Stava-Murray."

"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She will yield."

"So I just want to thank the Sponsor and all those who have worked on this. The mother is a close, personal friend of mine. And so, it really means a lot that we are 10100039.docx 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 going to make sure that no other children have to go through what her daughter suffered through. So, I appreciate all of the work that's gone into this, and I strongly encourage an 'aye' vote. And thank you, everyone."

"Representative Conroy to close."

"I would just like to sincerely thank Jennifer, who is Mikayla's mom, for her bravery and her willingness to take on this fight. And I want her to know that we will never forget Mikayla. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative DeLuca."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. House Bill 2151, currently there is not specific penalty for a person who kills another individual while operating an uninsured motor vehicle. The Vehicle Code does, however, make it a Class A misdemeanor if a person causes an individual bodily harm while operating an uninsured motor vehicle. If a 10100039.docx 26  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 person has previously been convicted of two or more such violations, there's an additional $2500 fine. And this Bill, what it does is if there is a third or subsequent offense that results in the death of a person, they would be guilty of a Class 2 felony. And I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you."

"Thank you, Madam Chair. Representative, when this came before the Transportation Committee, we… I don't even know if you were there that day, I think one of your colleagues presented this."

"You were in another committee at the time."

"But one of the points that I made that I really would like for you to consider… I mentioned to you that, of course, we do not want anyone that's operating a vehicle to use an electronic device. But we also said, while we think that $75 is too low of a fine to increase any fine over 1 thousand percent, we believe that there should be a middle ground here because here's what's happening. If that's really a concern, let's look at education, making certain that residents know that there's a penalty and it's against the law to do so. But also we agree that $75 is too low, but increasing a fine with over 1 thousand percent, we feel there should be more of an agreement of a middle ground. What I'm asking you to do, and I asked that Representative before you brought this to the floor today, is that we agree on an increase above $75, but certainly not over 1 thousand percent. 10100039.docx 34  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 Now, me being in disagreement of this legislation is not that I'm in disagreement of what you're trying to do, but I think increasing a fine to over a thousand percent is probably not the right intention of what we should be doing here on today. So I do ask for a 'no' vote simply because we are increasing this fine to over 1 thousand percent. Thank you."

It's a program that has… that has been passed in a number of other states.

The Bill will amend the Illinois version of the Revised Uniformed Unclaimed Property Act by allowing people who have $100 or less in unclaimed property to simply file an affidavit as well as any other further documentation requested by the Treasurer's Office. Currently, the law requires court certified documentation, but these certifications are costly, particularly for low dollar claims. The Bill will simplify and expedite the claims process for small claims of deceased relative's property owners, saving time and money for the state. And I know of no opposition at this time."

Currently this capability is not available in Illinois so this provides that the next time that we bid out a contract for our license… licenses that we include that this capability must be included. And so, this was worked out with the Secretary of State's Office. They're supportive of the Bill. And the only known opponent is the Illinois Family Institute."

"Representative Villanueva."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. So, today, I want to present House Bill 2176. This proposal essentially cracks down on notary fraud and notaries that misrepresent their services to community members, particularly immigrant community members. One second. So HB2176 requires that notary publics who are not licensed attorneys or accredited officials must display a written notice and actually hand a written notice for the customers that they're serving and have them sign so that people actually are aware that if the individual, the notary is not an attorney or an accredited official, that they can't offer legal services. Additionally, this Bill actually increases the fines for those people that are caught, you know… sorry… committing fraud from a thousand dollars to $1500. This actually also isn’t relevant to notary publics that actually are signing petitions or have to do with election law. With that said, I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Willis."

"Mr. Speaker. This Bill is in response to a closing in my area. Approximately a year ago Pipeline Health care organization started the process of purchasing a hospital. They actually ended up purchasing three hospitals. They purchased Weiss; they purchased West Suburban; and they purchased Westlake Hospital. Throughout all those negotiations, they stated very clearly that they had no intentions of closing any of the hospitals or changing any of the services for two years. The final sale was finished in the end of January and two weeks later they announced that they were going to close Westlake Hospital, which is in my district in Melrose Park. They were able to do this because two years ago… or actually three years ago, we passed legislation that allowed that… from the Illinois Health and Hospital Association that was meant to streamline reorganizations and repurposing of hospitals and health care facilities to make the process a lot easier. They defrauded both the Village of Melrose Park, and I would venture to say the Illinois Health and Hospital Association, along with the Health Care Facilities Board by stating that they were going to keep these… this facility open. This facility is in a very low income community. It is vital to the community. It has over 50 behavioral health beds, 16 maternity ward beds, and it has an ER that is often times the only ER that is open when other hospitals in the area are on bypass. It is known for its stroke care, and I would urge this Body to help me 10100039.docx 53  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 turn back the time a little bit not… repeal Public Act 99154 with the understanding that after we are able to keep Westlake Hospital open. I promise and I commit to both the health care facilities and to the Hospital Association that I will come back with a trailer Bill that will be a Bill that can take care of the needs of the Hospital Association, the health care facilities, but also keep Westlake Hospital open. Happy to take any questions."

"There are no Amendments pending on this Bill right now." 10100039.docx 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019

"Yes, I have, and that is why I've committed to come back with a trailer Bill. A trailer Bill that will take in the concerns of the health care facilities and the Hospital Association."

"Correct."

"Well, I would venture to say that I intend to take care… take that up this Session. I do not intend to have it go on farther than that. My intent is… and one of the things that I cannot stress enough to you is, yesterday… to go a little bit further on it, yesterday we went to court, the Village of Melrose Park went to court to put a stay in for Westlake Hospital to stay open. That stay was granted, but Pipeline is ignoring that stay and they are still on bypass for their ER. They are still not taking any residents. We need to do 10100039.docx 55  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 something to send a message to them that they cannot do that. And that's what this Bill is doing."

"No, I am not."

"You're acknowledged. Representative Mazzochi."

"Representative Welch is recognized."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill is extremely important. Can we have Unlimited Debate on this?"

"The Bill is on Unlimited Debate."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stand on the floor, today, to speak is support of House Bill 123. I want to thank Leader Willis for having the courage to bring this Bill to the floor today because it's important to her, her district, and the constituents that send her here. Just like the Republican Leader did earlier here today on House Bill 3172, he stood up and advocated for an issue that was important to his district and out of courtesy to him, we supported him. Now we have one of our Leaders standing up on an issue that is critical to our district. It's a matter of life and death, and we're asking for support. We have an out-of-town company based in 10100039.docx 59  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 L.A. that has come in here and they have lied, they have cheated, and they are mistreating our community. This is a serious discussion and we're asking for the Legislature to help support it. These are people that came in here with full knowledge of the facts, went through due diligence, signed paperwork before the review board under oath, saying they wouldn't make any changes to this hospital for at least two years, saying they would provide charity care for at least two years. Hired people, sent them to talk with all of us and assure us that these attestations signed under oath was their true intent. And two weeks, two weeks after they purchased this community hospital, they did a complete 360. Everyone in here has gone through the purchase of a home process. You know what that's like. You probably had your closing date moved once or twice during that purchase process. This process started in September of 2018. That closing date moved so many times that they didn't close until January of 2019. Why is that? Because they went through due diligence. They knew the facts. They knew every single thing about Westlake Hospital when they bought the hospital and signed under oath that they would keep it open and not make any changes for at least two years. Leader Willis has a Bill on the board that says don't protect liars and cheaters. Don't reward this company for coming in here and abusing our laws. The Village of Melrose Park would be devastated if that hospital closes, 800 employees, 800 plus families, the businesses surrounding the hospital. She's trying to protect the fabric of her community. That's what we're asking here. Out of courtesy, we didn't even ask Leader a question when he ran a Bill earlier here 10100039.docx 60  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 today to help his district. We shouldn't be asking any questions on this one. Out of deference to Leader Willis, we should vote 'yes' on this Bill. Not only did they blatantly abuse the process of change of ownership, we had a Cook County Circuit Court Judge yesterday enter a temporary restraining order, a specific order from a sitting judge that today is being ignored by these liars and cheaters. Are you going to reward that? This Bill isn't perfect. There's a whole lot of Bills that hit that board that aren't perfect. She has told you she's going to correct those imperfections. We have no reason to distrust her, but what we should be doing here is not rewarding a California company, a bunch of vultures who are lying and cheating and trying to destroy our community. We need to stand up and stand with Representative Willis here today. This is too important to the black and brown families in Melrose Park and Bellwood and Maywood. What's going to happen to that person who's having a stroke or having a heart attack and time is of the essence and these vultures are not even following the judge's orders and won't even admit patients there today? Turning the employees and staff around. It's not right. We should not stand here today and reward Eric Whitaker. We should not stand here today and reward Pipeline Health. We should be standing here today and protecting an Illinois community. And just like it is happening in Melrose Park, it could be happening in your area next. By passing this Bill here today, I guarantee you we're going to make some changes happen. We need your help. We're asking you to help stop lying and cheating that is currently in process. The blatant disregard for our laws has to be 10100039.docx 61  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 stopped. The blatant disregard for our judge's orders has to be stopped. I ask you, today, to stand up for Melrose Park, Bellwood, Maywood, and the 77th District. Stand up for those black and brown families that need health care. We'll fix that Bill like we fix other Bills later, like you guys allowed the Leader to do with his Bill. We need a 'yes' vote on House Bill 123. And let's stop the lying and cheating today."

"Representative Ramirez."

"Does the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she yields."

"Leader Willis, will you… I stepped out for a second to the back, but can you just tell me a little bit about the impact that not passing this Bill will have in your district?"

"As you heard very eloquently by the previous speaker, there are almost 800 employees of this hospital. This hospital has been open for over a hundred years. It is a vital part of the community. So all those employees would lose their positions. Many of them have been there for over a decade so they are totally vested in the community right there. Many of them walk to work. Not only that, with a hospital that is so community based like that, many people… we have 16 maternity ward beds there. So pretty much everybody either had a baby at Westlake Hospital, or knows somebody that had a baby at Westlake Hospital, or they themselves were born at Westlake Hospital. We also have 50 behavioral health beds there. That is something unique to the community. That is something that everybody in the surrounding neighborhoods are very well aware of. So anybody that does any type of addictive services that where they need to do in-house hospitalization, they use 10100039.docx 62  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 Westlake Hospital for that. It's also number one in stroke care in the area. So… if you can tell that someone's having a stroke, Westlake Hospital is renowned for their above and beyond stroke care. Their ER is also one of the few ERs that almost never on bypass. It's been on bypass the last two days because the Pipeline Health Care has decided to close it down, but they are never on bypass. When Gottlieb Hospital is on bypass, when one of the other hospitals farther out is on bypass, the ER is the place at Westlake that is constantly having the Emergency Medical Services come into there."

"Thank you. So you're telling me that over 800 jobs would be lost as a result of this. That black and brown community people who need a hospital that it's right there for them that hospital will be denied to them. That if someone has a stroke and they need immediate care, that that would be denied to them. I just don't understand. I want to ask you a follow up question. How is it that we allow companies that are not even from the State of Illinois to come in and tell us that they're going to do one thing and say work with us and make agreements and them decide to viciously lie to us and close hospitals that we desperately need? How is that possible?"

"Unfortunately, that's possible because we… two years or three years ago when we passed the legislation, it allowed them to reduce the amount of up front that they needed to do. It streamlined the purchase and transition orders on it making it almost too easy. And that's what we're… that's why we want to repeal that. Let me point out one other thing in the repeal. Where we ask the Governor to step in is only in when we're talking about the exemption that's granted. That is the 10100039.docx 63  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 only part that we're asking the Governor to come in. And also, while the Health Care Facilities Board does make the final decision… and most times they have said that they usually if there is pending lawsuits, they will hold off until the lawsuit is done. It is not standard. It is not law. It does not mandate that they do that. So for them to say most times… that's okay, most times, but I need every time. And that's why we put it into this law that every time that there is a pending law suit, the closure will be denied until the law suit is done. And that is why we changed it into this legislation to go through. Let me add one other final thing and then I'll take some more questions on from you on that. One of the things that also came up was that the Health Care Facilities Board says this is a good thing. Actually, when I had my initial talks with them, they said when we pass this Bill in the 99th General Assembly, they were concerned about it then and they actually have language that they would like to see us work with going forward to fix. And that is truly my intent to work with them in a manner that… going forward. But at this point, I need to send a message to Pipeline… my fellow Representatives in the area need to do the same thing. We need to tell Pipeline they cannot do this to us. They cannot do it to the community. They cannot do it to the people that depend upon Westlake Hospital. Anything else?"

"Thank you, Representative. So the last question that I have for you, and I think it just echo's what you just said. So for clarification, you are saying that this Bill and the Amendment in House Bill 123 will give the Governor the power to reverse a decision of the board regarding application for 10100039.docx 64  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 exemption under the Act to ensure that the hospital is open while that law suit is happening?"

"Correct."

"To ensure that the employees are there providing the health care that we need in that hospital. Is that correct?"

"Correct. And then that's something that is so vital. As you heard prior said, we actually went to court yesterday to put a stay on the closing of the hospital. And while the judge did grant that, the Pipeline Health care continues to ignore that. We're hoping that having the Governor put in his additional power behind that, maybe we can get this to stop. We need to do this until… forward. One of the other things that we've gone and I've gone and worked through, and I cannot stress this enough, I've been working with Deputy Governor Flores, and she has told me that she intends fully to put Westlake Hospital on the transformational hospital list and do a certificate of need and a community survey on the need for the community on what services we truly need in Westlake. That is something that should have been done in the beginning, and I'm very happy that the Deputy Governor has agreed to work with me on that as we go forward with this. But it doesn't do me any good if the doors get shuttered tomorrow or on April 30 when the health care facilities meet. We need to keep it open, keep those services vital to the community throughout this process."

"Thank you, Representative. So to the Bill. I urge an 'aye' vote. Health care is a human right. When black and brown people in our state don't have access to the basics because of politics or companies from out of our state who believe 10100039.docx 65  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 that they can just buy themselves into making one commitment and changing it, that tells us that we don't believe that health cares a human right. So I, today, will be voting 'yes' and I urge an 'aye' vote. Thank you, Leader Willis."

"Representative Morgan."

"A question for the Sponsor."

"Sponsor yields."

"To the Representative, this is definitely an issue that we spoke about in committee. And as you know, I have a background in health care and have worked on issues of certificate of need and health facility licensing over the years as I expressed in committee, I had a number of concerns. And one of my questions that I wanted to talk about a little bit is just what… we discussed this a little bit, but let's talk about the impact of… there were references earlier that this legislation is going to be so problematic for future issues, but one of the other things we spoke about in the subject matter hearing but also in committee was that if we don't address this issue, this could potentially happen to other hospitals throughout the state. Could you address that for us?"

"Exactly. We have streamlined the process of purchasing hospitals and changing hand so much so that there's really not a checks and balances in there. And that's what we're trying to take it… slow it down, take it a step back, making sure that we truly have a certificate of need as we change hands and that we have it much more strict as to what is the intent of the new purchaser. What are they going to do? How… where they're saying one thing and then if they follow up and 10100039.docx 66  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 do something else there's nothing to prevent that from happening, and that's what we need to roll it back and not allow that to happen.

"Thank you. And to the Bill. There were a few questions earlier about whether this exists in state statute with other processes. One of my well regarded friends on the other side of the aisle asked, does this happen in other state agencies? I do believe there are few process in which an agency can make a recommendation in which the Governor or the Executive Branch can go in a different direction. And I believe, and I could be mistaken, but I think the Pollution Control Board and the Prisoner Review Board are two areas where there are recommendations made to the Governor and the Governor has full discretion to decide whether to accept those recommendations or not. So the idea that we are increasing the power and the authority of the Executive Branch I think is misplaced. I also think that we created a certificate of need process, and we create a certificate of need process that reflected problems in the past that we fixed. I think that we all agree the certificate of need process failed us here. The certificate of need process that we created that was supposed to fix some of these problems, failed. It failed this community of the Representative. It failed us as a state. It will continue to fail us over and over again unless we fix it. So this is an important issue and the idea that we can stand by and let the courts do what this Legislative Body should be doing, I think is misplaced. So I urge an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Representative Gong-Gershowitz." 10100039.docx 67  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019

"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she will."

"So, Leader Willis, I'm just curious, normally when a business closes the state isn't necessarily involved and I'm curious… you know, what is the process here for closing a hospital and why is it in the public interest for the state to get involved?"

"Well, as you've heard with other Speakers, health care is a right. And I think when you're taking that away, certainly when you're taking it away from a community, that is something that the state has to step up and we have to make sure that we have it. It's one of the things that I'm sure you have heard and I have heard whenever we're talking to people in the community, affordable, convenient, assessable health care is so vital to everybody's well-being. And when you're taking away a community hospital that doesn't just do inpatient stays, but it does a lot of outpatient work, it has a very robust senior group that comes in there for diabetes checks, for follow ups, for operations. It does a huge thing that has a very robust fitness program that they do throughout the community. It's not just the in hospital aspect of Westlake Hospital that affects it. So it's definitely a community organization and when you pull that out of there that takes a part of the community away from people. And that is why it is so vital to keep this in the community that it has been in for over a hundred years."

"And is it correct… that there is a shortage in a number of hospitals that can take mental health patients?" 10100039.docx 68  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019

"Yes. I mean that is something that we're constantly hearing, especially inpatient mental health. There is always a wait for beds on that. And when we have a hospital that is in a community, especially a low income community that has 50 behavioral health beds, that is not a place we want to close down. We're looking to expand that if anything else. And that is actually something that the Deputy Governor and I talked about, about possibly, as we do the transformation forward if Westlake Hospital qualifies for a transformation, which would be additional funding, to possibly add more behavioral health beds to the hospital."

"Is it also my understanding that the misrepresentation is specifically the reason why you're bringing this legislation because the process itself was flawed?"

"Yes, the exemption process has been flawed and that is what we're so concerned about. It made it too easy to get that exemption without a chance to turn it around. And that's why we're bringing this forward."

"And it was my understanding too, from the hearing that we had, that had the Pipeline Health indicated that they would be closing this hospital in all likelihood, this wouldn't have been approved in the first place. Is that right?"

"I would probably venture, yes, that would not have happened. If they had been up front and told what their plans were for Westlake Hospital, it would not have been approved for sale at that point. The previous owners were very upfront with what they wanted to do. They did some transformation 10100039.docx 69  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 there and now to have these new owners go and blatantly lie, I think that is something that we're seeing on a regular basis with the dealing with Pipeline on why we have to take the hard stand forward with this."

"Thank you, Leader Willis. To the Bill."

"To the Bill."

"I urge an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Guzzardi is recognized."

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

"She indicates she will."

"Leader Willis, you brought this issue to my attention recently and to my discredit, I hadn't paid a lot of attention to it before you and I spoke. And I really appreciate you bringing me up to speed about it. I… I want to talk about process a little bit. So first of all, can you walk us through the process that the company went through in the purchase of the hospital? So, an earlier speaker mentioned that they swore affidavits or gave testimony under oath about their plans for the hospital. Can you describe that process a little bit?"

"So the way it goes, is there was a number of hearings before the Health Care Facilities Board whenever there is a request to purchase a new hospital or change owners of it. They come up with… they present their financials, they come up with what their plan is, and they present it to the health care facilities and the community in which the health care facilities reside in. And then the Health Care Facilities Board accepts the recommendation along with it and that's when it goes through with the approval of the purchase. That doesn't even count in the banks and all that stuff. I'm not 10100039.docx 70  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 a banker, so I'm not going to go into that, but this is the part that I'm familiar with."

"And there were… it sounds like there were community hearings as well as formal hearings in front of a board. Is that right?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear what your question was."

"It sounds like there were community hearings as well as formal hearings in front of a board?"

"Yes, there were. Here, I can go through a timeline for you."

"I'd appreciate that."

"In September of 2018, they had a state board staff report that talked about the change of ownership, so that was one. They were issued an approval letter in November of 2018, and then that was finalized on February of 2019. And then, by the request of the mayor, on 3/11/2019, we actually then had… this is when we found out that everything was going through and we went through and we had another public hearing. Actually, the public hearing is the one good thing that we had in that Public Act that we did in the 99th General Assembly. It does require a public hearing before a closure can take place, but it doesn't require the public hearing before the transition of ownership takes place. And it also doesn't hold… we had hundreds and hundreds of people come and testify, send in letters, and talk about why they wanted to keep the hospital open, but it doesn't really give a lot of weight to the decision of the Health Care Facilities Board."

"Sure, I understand. So the process that you're proposing in the Bill that's before us today, the process 10100039.docx 71  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 would require the hospital to get this certificate of need. Is that right?"

"Correct."

"And one other piece of the Bill that jumps out to me is the business about a pending lawsuit. Can you explain a little bit about the idea there?"

"Right. So the Health Care Facilities Board says normally if there's a pending lawsuit that puts a hold on it but they are not mandated to put a hold on it. And so, we put into this piece of legislation that if there is a pending lawsuit, they are mandated to put a hold on it until after the law suit is done. That's a huge difference because, you know, you're shooting the dice as to where the board's going to go and I don't want to take people's lives on a crap shoot like that."

"Sure. Well, to the Bill."

"To the Bill."

"I think the measure we have before us is a very reasonable provision, a measured response to a very serious challenge facing the Representative's community and the communities in her area. Folks who are profoundly underserved in so many ways, in particularly underserved when it comes to meeting their health care needs, and we have an institution whose fate is hanging in the balance. And this institution provides services that no one else in the community's providing. And for this community to loose such a critical institution, because some out of state vulture profiteers want to come in and extract a few extra bucks seems to me like a profound miscarriage of justice. And I think Leader 10100039.docx 72  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 Willis has thought long and hard about how to approach this question. I think the Bill before us today is one, as I said, that's measured, that's sensible, that requires a process that we've gone through for many, many years in this state before. This isn't inventing something new out of whole cloth, this is simply returning to a process that we used to use. And frankly, I think the provision in law that Leader Willis is proposing that would suggest that a decision may not be made while a lawsuit is pending in a case, seems very sensible to me that a decision like this if it's working its way through the courts, let the courts make their ruling before the state makes its decision. So I'm very grateful to Leader Willis for bringing this forward. As I said, this was not an issue that I walked into this chamber knowing a ton about, but the more I learned about it, the more it seems like there's a real injustice happening in this community, and we have a very sensible and responsible Bill to address that injustice. So with that, I urge an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Lisa Hernandez is recognized on this question." Hernandez, L.: "Thank you, Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she'll yield." Hernandez, L.: "So, Leader, there was Members that have expressed concerns of about the Bill, and you have said that you're looking to put through a trailer Bill to address some of these concerns?"

"I am. And one of the most vital concerns is putting all the power in the Governor's Office and I do recognize that, but at this point, I really don't have a different choice to 10100039.docx 73  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 make. And so, I am willing to put through a trailer Bill to address that and to address some of the concerns of the Health Care Facilities Board." Hernandez, L.: "Can you speak on some of those concerns?"

"Well, the most important one is to make sure that we codify that if there is a lawsuit, if it's pending, that we make sure that that says that they cannot make a decision while that lawsuit is pending. I think the Health Care Facilities Board is open to that, but one of the things that they are concerned about is the Governor's override ability. And so, I'm willing to take that back in a trailer Bill. And they had some other language that was more cleanup language that they would like to see put in there. The certificate of need was certainly an important aspect of them, what they wanted to see. They did have some concerns on the financial statements and I'm willing to work with them on that in the trailer Bill also." Hernandez, L.: "So, Representative, it appears to me that you're being very open, you're being very willing, that there probably could even be even more conversation on the… once you put the trailer Bill together."

"I would say I try to pride myself in being very open- minded and willing to compromise. The only reason that I did not put in an Amendment on the Bill at this point is I needed to state a stance that I needed to take a strong, hard stance against Pipeline Health to let them know that they cannot do this to my community and hopefully not to anybody else's community. And that is why I am taking the hard stand now instead of going and putting it through the Amendment right 10100039.docx 74  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 away. I want to make sure that we get a message sent to them that they cannot do this to my community, to your community, to anybody else's community." Hernandez, L.: "Thank you, Leader. To the Bill."

"To the Bill." Hernandez, L.: "I think it's sensible what the… what Leader Willis is doing. When at right now, what is being done is impacting a community tremendously. She's open minded. It's a matter of trust here. I trust Leader Willis will do the right thing, very open minded. And I ask all for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative McSweeney."

"Members, Representative Demmer has requested a verification. All Members please be in your chair and vote your own switches. Leader Willis to close."

"Thank you, Members of… Mr. Speaker and Members of the Body. I think in my six-plus years here, I have proven to everyone that I am a trustworthy individual. If I say I'm going to come back with a trailer Bill, you can trust me that I'm going to come back with a trailer Bill and a compromise. I have never lied on this House Floor, I will never lie on this House Floor. But this is so vital and so important to my community that I need to pass it in its entirety today to show to Pipeline Health care that they cannot blatantly lie 10100039.docx 75  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 to their to their community. They can't lie to a judge. They can't lie to their own employees and the people that depend upon them. We need to have this Bill passed. I urge you, please, to help me protect not only the Village of Melrose Park, but those that are surrounding. We've heard from other Members on both sides of the aisle that many of them have people that go to Westlake Hospital. Please, please I urge you to support me in sending a message to Pipeline Health that they cannot do this to not only my community, but they can't turn around and do it to your community either. Please give me an 'aye' vote on this. Thank you very much."

"Once again, Members, Representative Demmer has requested a verification. All Members will be in their chairs and vote their own switches. The question is, 'Shall House Bill 123 pass?' All in favor will 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, take the record. On this question, there are 69 voting 'yes', 35 voting 'no', 0 voting 'present'. Mr. Clerk, please read the names of those… Representative Demmer removes his request for a verification. On this question, there are 69 voting 'yes', 35 voting 'no', 0 voting 'present'. This Bill, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Bryant on a point of personal privilege."

"Representative Bristow, for what reason do you arise?"

"To add to Representative Bryant's point of personal privilege."

"State your point."

"I'd like to add my congratulations as well and also a special shout out to my great nephew, Gavin Shelton, from the Boys and Girls Club of Bethalto. Congratulations to all."

"Representative Ammons." 10100039.docx 77  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Point of personal privilege as well."

"State your point."

"Thank you. I just want to join my colleagues in recognizing the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Many people may not know that I was a former program director for Champaign area Boys and Girls Club, and I wanted to highlight and thank the Legislature for the work that they have done for many years to support Boys and Girls Clubs of which we passed with unanimous support, the House Resolution #250. I want to highlight from that Resolution that the Illinois Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs provide services to over 63 thousand youth at about a hundred facilities throughout the state with the support of programs such as Teen Reach and 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and funding from community foundations, grants, and the generosity of private donors. As well as the Teen Reach Program is unique to Illinois and represents a partnership between the State of Illinois through the Department of Human Services and the Illinois Alliance of Boys and Gils Clubs that is now entering its 20th year of working together to provide great futures for the youth of Illinois. And finally, I wanted to just add that every $1 invested in Boys and Girls Clubs returns $11 to its communities and to those served. I do want to recognize all the students that are here from the Boys and Girls Club and thank all the staff that work with the youth throughout the State of Illinois. Thank you so much. And thank you, Members of the General Assembly, for funding Boys and Girls Clubs throughout the state." 10100039.docx 78  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019

"Representative Mah, for what reason do you arise?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd also like to congratulate the youth who are here from the Boys and Girls Club and especially Joshua Houston, who is the winner of Youth of the Year. He is from the Valentine Boys and Girls Club, and there are also finalists from the Union League Boys and Girls Club also in my district. So I'd like to congratulate all of them and thank you for coming down to visit us in Springfield."

"Representative Greenwood."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Point of personal privilege."

"State your point."

"I would also like to congratulate Evan Gill. He's one of the Youth of the Year candidates, he's up in the gallery. He's a student at Mascoutah High School and he's out of the Scott Air Force Base Program. So congratulations, Evan. And thank you to the staff who brought him here to Springfield today. Welcome to your Capitol."

"Representative Lisa Hernandez on a point of personal privilege, and then we will move back to Third Readings. Representative Hernandez." Hernandez, L.: "Thank you, Speaker. I also just want to give a shout out the Boys and Girls Club for coming out and visiting, but especially to Bryan Bautista who's from my District of Cicero. And interestingly, I find out that Cicero only has a Boys Club, so I think I have some work to do. Thank you"

"Returning to Third Readings. On page 22 of the Calendar, House Bill 2485, Representative Severin. Out of the 10100039.docx 79  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 record. On House Bill 3038, Representative Unes. Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Unes."

"Seeing no one seeking recognition, the question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?' All in favor vote 'aye'; all opposed 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? D’Amico. Robinson. Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this, there are 112 voting 'yes', 0 voting 'no', 0 voting 'present'. And this Bill, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On page 19 of the Calendar, appears House Bill 357, Representative Yednock. Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. House Bill 357, known as the Buy Illinois, would require that state agencies give preference when purchasing goods to products made in Illinois. This would be products composed of at least 50 percent Illinois materials or commercially available off the shelf items. If state agencies cannot obtain these Illinois manufactured products then purchase preference must 10100039.docx 80  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 be given to products manufactured in the United States. We talk a lot about buying in our country and our state, and this Bill is an effort to support our jobs here in Illinois and be sure that our state agencies, when making purchases with taxpayer dollars, keep those dollars here in Illinois. And I would appreciate a 'yes' vote."

"On this question, Representative Halbrook."

"Standard Debate."

"Sponsor yields."

"For more jobs in Illinois. To support our own home businesses, our locally grown businesses."

"I'm sorry, I was not part of that committee to be honest with you. I'm not sure what their objection would be if… especially if they're an Illinois business."

"Could you repeat that please?"

"You mean during committee? How… how can I Sponsor this without being in the committee?"

"I really haven't had any of the opposition reach out to me, Representative, other than I do… I will admit, I got an email from Canada."

"None of them in Illinois."

"We haven't had an analysis by Central Management Services. I guess, if I would have to take a guess it's a 10, 12 percent would be what we could look at."

"Well, again, the Bill is about using the purchasing power of the State of Illinois to buy from manufacturers and producers in Illinois. Which I would assume, since I saw some hats over there about make Illinois great again, you would be for that."

"Because we would be actually buying more things with Illinois money to Illinois factories, Illinois jobs would be the benefactor of this."

"I guess there's the same guarantee as anything. We're purchasing from Illinois, trying to purchase… making a preference, I'm sorry to purchase from Illinois companies."

"Again, this is simply about using the purchasing power of Illinois to buy products at a preference from Illinois jobs to Illinois suppliers. It doesn’t mean that you exclusively have to, Representative. It's saying to please put a preference towards it, if not, then it goes to American made products and services. And if that's not available then I guess we'll have to find another… another way or purchase it from another country."

"Representative Batinick, are you in support or opposition?"

"Thank you. Shocker. Please proceed."

"He indicates he will."

"We haven't tallied that. CMS wouldn't provide because they… they quite simply said they they're not sure."

"It's really just about using Illinois' purchasing power to try to buy products that are manufactured or produced in the State of Illinois."

"I'm not sure how to answer that question because I… I mean, honestly it's… it's a good thing to be using our funds in Illinois from the Illinois taxpayers to try to buy Illinois products that serve Illinois jobs."

"That's correct."

"No, I do not."

"Well, that's also… you're talking labor and a lot of other things. We're talking about products, off the shelf products. It's probably not as quite a big as the whole number of CMS."

"Well, I think they follow that process pretty much as it is now. I… what I understand from the Bill's language is that if they cannot find a product or they think the product is, you know, something they're not going to be able to purchase they can ask for a waiver from the purchasing agent. And it's as simple as I ask this… as simple as the purchasing agent says, go ahead. It's not a huge process. And plus, Representative…"

"A lot of it has probably to do with labeling. I would assume with, you know, made in Illinois, made in America, but 10100039.docx 86  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 it is… in the Bill talks about components, products, how much is… how much of the product is valued in Illinois. I mean there's different components of it, but I don't see how it would be that difficult to find out if something was manufactured in Illinois or not."

"I don't think it… it gets down to the point of buying a hat or a suit, we're talking about certain products."

"I… I don't know that to be the truth, Sir. I just know that what this Bill does is asks our procurement officers to look at buying Illinois products first as a preference."

"I… I'm being led to understand that that has to do with the federal procurement process. That is something that the Federal Government allows. That's what I was led to understand. I… I'm being honest with you, Representative Batinick, I don't have the exact answer for that. I questioned it myself, but what I was told it was probably because of the federal procurement process allows that."

"Representative Halpin. I assume in support."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker."

"Please proceed."

"I'll go straight to the Bill."

"To the Bill."

"When it comes to the cost of this Bill, for many Illinoisans the only cost is going to be the lack of the free time they have because they're going to be more stably employed as we support our state businesses. And I want to point out that, when we talk about the Manufacturers' Association, we talk about the Chamber of Commerce, each and 10100039.docx 88  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 one… each and every one of their membership could tomorrow decide that they want to have a preference to supply themselves with Illinois businesses and Illinois labor. They have that choice because they are the purchaser of that product. The State of Illinois should have the same option to put its purchasing power behind Illinois businesses and keep those dollars within the State of Illinois. And I should say that I hope each of those organizations does encourage their membership to support Illinois businesses, and do Illinois sourcing, and made in America sourcing. So… the State of Illinois should be able to have that same option. That's all this Bill does. And I would urge a 'yes' vote."

"Representative Scherer."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill."

"To the Bill."

"I can guarantee that if I go home any of my constituents… which for me would be just to walk outside the building… but any of my constituents would say, if I went up and pulled them and said, 'would you rather that we buy our products in Illinois, made in Illinois? Or would you rather that someone from China made our products?' A hundred out of a hundred times they're going to say keep the jobs local, grow local, shop local, keep it in Illinois. We see it and we hear it and many Members in this very august Assembly, say that very thing day after day. I'm working on a Bill right now with teacher testing for student teachers and the Bill is produced by a company called Pearson, they're from Massachusetts and owned by a company in Britain. There's no reason that that can't be done in Illinois, and we wonder why we have budget problems. 10100039.docx 89  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 To the gentleman earlier, yes, we have budget problems, and it's because of Bills just like this when you don’t use common sense and you argue when you're from Illinois whether things should come from Illinois.

"Thank you. I just want to ask a clarifying question. Under this Bill, would it require phlebotomists to get this training from their employers?"

"It has a number of places. And because phlebotomist is such a generic term, any… there is not a specific phlebotomist license or anything like that. So it could be a lab tech, it could be… it could be a medical assistant, it could be anybody that's just trained to do phlebotomy work. So what it does is, the Department of Public Health is going to have areas 10100039.docx 95  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day 4/10/2019 available that they can do training and one of them is probably going to be an online way to do it."

"No, they would not have to pay for any additional training. It's nothing that required in there. It's really actually more a suggestion than a requirement."

"I appreciate you clarifying that. And I want to make sure that whatever they do, that they don't charge this training back to those who are certainly not paid very well already."

"No, no, that is not the intent at all behind that. In fact, the guideline… what we're hoping is that clinics that do a lot of phlebotomy work will have some… just like a workshop in an afternoon to talk about how to be more sensitive and how to handle clients that have developmental disabilities."

"And just to clarify also, this does apply to plasma centers or other places…"

"No, No, it does not because…"

"…private centers at all?"

"Right. The reason is, obviously someone that has a developmentally disability would not be giving blood, would not be doing that necessarily, especially if they have a fear of it. And so, that's why we put that in there to clarify that."
