And I just give him all the glory and the praise. Now, if you would bow your heads, we'll just go into prayer. Dear heavenly Father, we just thank you today, Father-God, how you been with us, how you have watched over us, Father-God. How you have kept our families, Lord, how you have kept us while we are out in the working vineyard, Father-God. We just thank you again, Father, that you're no respect or persons, Father, that people would look on the outside, but you know the heart of men. So we just give you the praise right now, Father-God, that you'll lift people up and sit people down. Because it's your will that we're going for, Father-God. We stretch our hands to you, Father-God, and we say have your way over the State of Illinois, Father-God, over these Houses of Representatives, Father-God. Everyone that you have sent here that was elected by the people, let us not forget the people when we are making these laws and Bills and things, Father- God. That we are living for peace, Father-God, everything that would be done would be done for the goodness of the 10100041.docx 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 people, Father-God, even from the babies that are in the wombs to the oldest person in the State of Illinois, Father-God. These people were sent here to bring peace into this state, Father-God. So we just thank you, Lord, that they will listen to your Holy Spirit that dwells within them, Father-God. That they would be coherent to what you're saying, Father-God. Adhere to what you're saying to them, Father-God. 'Cause you said righteousness exalts the nation and we want to be exalted, Father-God. We want you to raise Illinois up over this nation of the USA that we will be known for a place that you dwell here, Father-God, that you are… reigning over Illinois and that the laws and things will be to your glory, God. We just thank you for everyone that's here today, Father- God. We just give you the praise, the honor, and the glory, God. That they would draw in peace, that there be no divisions, Father-God, that they would come in unity to your glory. And we just thank you, again, for how you working all things out, even storms and things and how you have kept Illinois from disasters, Father-God. In the name of Jesus, we just thank you and we want you to be recognized in this House, Father-God, and in the people here, that they will, Father- God, bring peace to this nation and to our State of Illinois. And we just thank you for the Representatives here, Father- God.

It's Suits and Sneakers Day at the Capitol. I would like to ask that we go one further on this. I would like to make this a fundraiser and actually do something for these causes besides draw awareness. So here's what I'm going to ask. I'm going to ask that the Members of the Assembly here or the House that decide to wear sneakers this day contribute something to one of these causes. Pick your cause, any of them, and I tell you what, I'll match the first $50 to each cause up to 200 for all the causes. So if you’re willing to give, I'm willing to give. And I ask that all of us remember this Wednesday, May 1 and that we do something for these charities as well. Thank you."

What this Bill does… this Bill is brought to me by a constituent of a home schooled student cannot get a work permit unless they go to a school administrator, but they're home schooled so they don’t have a school administrator. So 10100041.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 what we're doing is we're allowing that the parent have the ability to sign off on if they're able to get a work permit. They still have to get the medical… or the physical requirement through a doctor. Nothing else changes, it just allows them to instead of going to a school administrator to have the parent sign off on the work permit. I urge an 'aye' vote."
"Is there any discussion? Representative Ammons."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield for a quick question?"
"He indicates he'll yield."
"Thank you. Representative Wehrli, I see that the Department of Labor is opposed to this change of action. Can you share what their opposition is?"
"They think that we can do this without a Bill, that they can do it through administrative process, but this was brought to me by a fifteen-year-old home schooled student that was trying to get involved in the process. So I'm just running it as a Bill. There is… I'm not necessarily in agreement with the Department of Labor that they can just do this administratively, so just to be crystal clear I'm running the legislation."
"And just one other question about that. When a… in the regular school system when they are able to do work permits they have to be 16, under this Bill they would not have to be 16?"
"No, you can get a work permit under the age of 16, currently. So I'm not changing any of the ages, the… you know, the requirements other than the one thing of having a school 10100041.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 administrator sign off on the work permit, that the parent signs off because they're home schooled.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 2682 takes us into compliance with a federal rule regarding the sale of jet fuel… with sales tax as applied. We are out of compliance with the FAA mandate that monies derived from a sales tax on jet fuel go for airport related purposes. We did this Bill last May. We… May's version only had a lockbox for this Bill. This Bill actually has a formula that distributes the money in what we feel to be in an equitable way. It also creates an aviation program… or an aviation fund for the City of Chicago related to abatement of noise and reparation of windows. I would ask for an 'aye' vote."
Speaker Harris: "Is there any discussion? Representative Sosnowski."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can I ask for Standard Debate?"
"Standard Debate."
"Appreciate Representative Zalewski bringing this Bill forward. Many Members realize we've been working on this I think for… I don’t know how many years, but last year we passed a lockbox proposal, it didn’t move in the Senate. I'm confident working with the Sponsor here, I think there's still things that need to be worked out for my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. If you have an airport, I think under the current proposal all airports will benefit based on the fuel that they consume and sell. I think there still needs to be some work on this Bill. I've got a commitment from the Sponsor of this Bill that we'll continue to work on the Senate. We expect some modifications on this. I think there's a little bit of disagreement without it being too big of an issue as 10100041.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 far as the formula, but I feel optimistic that we can pass this through today, continue to work on this past the deadline week here. And we'll see what comes out of it with our colleagues across the hall."
"Representative Wehrli, do you rise in support or opposition?"
"Supportish."
"Please state your pointish."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Sponsor indicates he’ll yield."
"Thank you. Representative, first off thanks for working on this. I have some specific questions regarding… airport operations are part of the formula to determine dollars allocated back to airports, correct?"
"Airport operations in one of three silos, enplanements and cargo. Those are the three silos."
"Okay. So specifically do you have a spreadsheet which shows what the breakdown by airport would be?"
"Your staff may have that, Grant, but we can certainly get you another copy."
"So let me ask specifically about… we have one of the finest aviation schools in the nation down in Carbondale. SIU Aviation puts more pilots into the market than pretty much anywhere else. Do you know how much money would be going back to Carbondale, the Murphysboro Airport under this?"
"We can get you that. It's based on their three silos. And, Grant, it's important to remember there's nobody in this formula that would lose any money. It would all be a net gain, but we can get you the number on what Carbondale gets." 10100041.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019
"How soon can you get me that?"
"I'm telling… asking my staff to see if we can have someone bring that chart down."
"Okay. Can we pull this out of the record until I get that information? Would you mind?"
"I don’t… I don't know that we can get you the dollar amount based on… unless… 'cause we don’t have updated sales data from the DOR. I know we could get you the breakdown of how it would look and I… hopefully you're being told that right now."
"Okay. So, I appreciate your indulgence here. I just want to… you did say that Carbondale and all other airports, everybody is held harmless, so we're not sweeping funds over to O'Hare, Midway?"
"I want to be clear on the record. Based on the formula those two airports would be, because they have the most cargo, because they have the most enplanements."
"Right."
"…they would derive a significant amount of money. But all airports in the state would see a fund… a net increase because the Department of Transportation would send money to them based on the sales tax derived from jet fuel, so it's a money proposition. It’s a net gain proposition."
"All right. Representative, based on the fact that you've always been an honest individual with us, I… I'll urge an…"
"We can… we'll get you the chart, Grant, I promise."
"I appreciate that. So with that being said, I urge an 'aye' vote on this. Thank you." 10100041.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019
Speaker Harris: "Thank you, Representative. Representative Carroll, do you stand in support or opposition?"
"I'm sort of oppositionish I guess. I want to have a few questions for the Bill Sponsor. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Let's see if there are other opponents, we'll come back to you."
"Okay."
"Representative Butler, opponent? Representative Carroll, please proceed."
"Thank you very much. Would the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he'll yield."
"Okay, 'cause I have some questions for you. Representative Zalewski, have you been in touch with Chicago Executive Airport?"
"Yes."
"Can you share with me some of what their concerns are and what you’re doing to address those?"
"So the villages that are connected to Chicago Executive Airport impose a Home Rule sales tax on the sale of jet fuel. It's my understanding that under this law, those municipalities would have to change their locally imposed sales tax on jet fuel to make sure that the purpose of the… the benefit derived from the sale of the fuel goes to airport related purposes."
"So do those airport related purposes apply to Chicago Executive or do they apply to the city airports?"
"Well it… you mean is it…"
"Like O'Hare, Midway." 10100041.docx 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019
"No, no, no. Chicago Executive, to the previous speaker's question, would get a benefit from this Bill. However, I know that they have a separate Home Rule sales tax imposed on the sale of jet fuel. They would have to change their ordinance to be reflective of getting that money to the… to airport related purpose."
"Okay. So basically the $300 thousand or so they discussed with me that was going to the local municipalities then would go back to the airport based on…"
"They would have to come to an agreement with the airport authority on how to reconcile the new statute with their locally imposed sales tax, Home Rule sales tax, on the imposition of jet fuel."
"Okay. Thank you."
"You’re welcome."
"Representative McSweeney."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he'll yield."
"Chairman Zalewski, I appreciate all the work that you've done on this. I plan to support the subject to getting an answer with a question. Can you please confirm this contains no tax increases or no fee increases?"
"No tax increases, no fee increases."
"To the Bill. I urge a ‘yes’ vote."
Speaker Harris: "There being no further discussion, Representative Zalewski to close."
"I urge an 'aye' vote. We… this… we have to come into compliance with this law. This has been a long standing discussion. I've tried to work collaboratively, I have worked 10100041.docx 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 collaboratively with my spokesman in the Revenue & Finance Committee. I appreciate that he takes me on his word that the dialogue has been robust. I care very much about trying to get this to a good place where we're making a good step forward with that today.

"Today is a bittersweet day for me and my Caucus because today I announce the retirement of one of our most beloved staff members, Lisa Guinan. Lisa began her work here 30 years ago in the House of Representatives. She has worked many positions over those years. Served under 3 Republican Leaders, 7 Governors, and yes, she has witnessed a heck of a lot. And people often say, boy you ought to write a book. She can definitely do it. Lisa has been an invaluable member of our Caucus since staff… and I call her a friend for all those years. She believes in our Caucus but more importantly she believes in this process. In the gallery, today, Lisa's husband Tim has joined us. Tim, thank you. But we want this moment, we want to wish Lisa many thanks and also congratulate her for her years of service, but wish her well in the next 10100041.docx 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 chapter of her life, which will be traveling the world, chasing after Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones as she has done so well and will continue to do that even despite the little interruption with the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger over the past couple months. But I just want to say that I've met so many people and friends over the years but I can't think of somebody who has meant so much to this Caucus and also to this building. We will always remember her for not only her dedicated work but her infectious smile that she brings every day to this chamber, despite the problems we often run into and some of the moments can be challenging but we know that Lisa has always been there for us. And, Lisa, I'm going to miss you, my Caucus will miss you, but thank you. Thank you for service to the State of Illinois and to the men and women you served in this chamber over the past 30 years. And with that I'd like to present to you a clock which recognizes you for your dedication to this service and also to this Caucus. Lisa, thank you."

"Thank you. And I rise to join our Leader Jim Durkin, all of our team over here, but I believe all of this chamber. Lisa, you have served us with integrity and grace and your knowledge is incredible. I've had the privilege of working with you both as a legislative aide and as a Representative and you never waiver. Absolutely never waiver. We have been blessed to have you on our team. And I know that there are 10100041.docx 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 some people in the gallery that are going to be very blessed to have you on their team as well. I wish you and Tim all the best. Godspeed, our friend."
"Representative Butler."
"Point of personal privilege, please, Mr. Speaker."
"Please state your point."
"Thank you. I just want to add my words as well. And I will say since I've been in here, the four years, one of the low points of my four years in here is when Lisa and Tim moved out of my district and into Representative Davidsmeyer's district because they were great constituents of mine when Tim worked at New Salem, but I can't think of a better person in our staff. Poor Lisa gets texts at all hours of the day, on the weekend, when she's on vacation. And I wouldn’t be the Sponsor or pick up any Senate Bills if it wasn’t for Lisa because every time I text her and say, hey, how do I need to do this, how do I pick up a Bill, what do I do. It's… she has just been an invaluable asset to me and I know this entire Body actually. And it's going to be a big loss to this institution. I think she and Tim really underscore the hard working state employees that we have here in Springfield. Lisa has dedicated her professional career to the State of Illinois and this Body. And, Lisa, Tim, thank you for everything and we will definitely miss you, that's for sure."

"House Bill 2549, a Bill for an Act concerning education. Third Reading of this House Bill."
"Representative Lilly."
"Thank you, Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. House Bill 2549 creates legislation that creates a round table to review and discuss our education curriculum here in the State of Illinois. Many of the young people here are questioning if they are truly prepared for the world once they leave. They are feeling that they need to have a little bit more input, a little bit more up to date curriculum that prepares them for the opportunities that are out in our great America. It would address business ethics. It would also support some of the arts that they're interested in. It would establish opportunities for global travel for learning, and experience and exposures. It is important that we listen to our young people. I have the opportunity to present the I'm Seventeen Initiative that’s conducted throughout the 78th District. And it really allows young people to speak what they're feeling with adults and ourselves listening. And they’re all seventeen year olds, and each of them indicated that they were needing a little bit more that prepares them for our great world. If there's no questions, I ask for an 'aye' vote."
"Is there any discussion? Representative Bourne."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"She indicates she'll yield."
"Representative, how did you come up with the topics that would be covered by this round table?" 10100041.docx 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019
"These are some of the topics that came from the young people from the I'm Seventeen Initiative, some teachers who are teaching at the schools within their districts, and a young lady who had an initiative that really brings exposure to the young people and the issues that they're dealing with."
"I'm seeing that this round table will be able to direct where money goes for programs. We have some concerns that that's not in alignment with the way that we fund things through the Legislature. Do you have any concerns about that?"
"Any entity that wishes to support our educational system here in the state of Illinois, I believe we welcome that. But what I… what's really important about this piece of legislation, a round table creates a study in ways we can create educational opportunities and develop resources for our students in the primary secondary education. So the round table is most important."
"So is it your intention that this round table will be able to direct how funding is spent or just make recommendations?"
"Recommendation on the curriculum for the students while listening to the students about the things that are important to their academic learnings."
"Okay. If… the way we read it, it looks like the round table is able to direct those… that funding. If that's the case, would you be willing to work on that?"

I'm a little concerned about the scope of this. Not only the scope and topic, but the scope and what their jurisdiction is. For that reason we opposed it in committee. I think that there's still more work to do, so I would ask that my colleagues vote 'no'."

I think school districts are probably already teaching work ethics and if they're not certainly we would encourage them to… we believe that it's another additional mandate on these school districts that they will have to include in their curriculum.

So House Joint Resolution has to do with the DREAM Act. As many of you know, Donald Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program known as DACA in the fall of 2017. This action put the lives of roughly 42… over 42 thousand hard working young people in Illinois at immediate risk. Without DACA these young people lose the ability to study and work and are subject to immediate deportation to countries which many of them have never been to. These young people, or so called dreamers, were brought into the United States by their parents when they were infants. They were raised in this country, educated in our local schools, and often have no idea they are undocumented until they apply for a job, college, or a driver's license. They are community members, students, teachers, nurses, and engineers. They pay taxes and contribute to our economy just like you and I. They are American in every aspect except for one, on paper. So I am here today to draw attention to our dreamers. We have made tremendous progress at the state level to protect our immigrant communities. However, there is only so much we can do at the state level, so it is on us as state leaders to push Congress to act. The livelihood of over 42 thousand Illinoisans, and over 800 thousand nationwide, hangs by a thread. The passage of the DREAM Act would signal that regardless of Donald Trump's actions, our country is still a beacon of hope and diversity. I ask for your support."

So you have to basically not get any other traffic offenses during that 10 year timeframe in order to be considered a first time offender under the DUI statute.

"House Bill 217, a Bill for an Act concerning education. Third Reading of this House Bill."
"Representative Flowers."
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I want to take this opportunity, once again, to argue the importance of House Bill 217. House Bill 217 provides that a college would not ask for information relating to the applicants’ criminal record… criminal history for the purpose of determining admissions to the college. In other words, if an individual meet the academic standards required by the college and is otherwise qualified, that individual criminal record would not be considered at that time. But House Bill 217 does not prohibit a school from collecting information about criminal records of a student who has been admitted. This Bill gives colleges flexibility. Schools can obtain information about criminal history through other means, specifically during their application and the supplement application time, even if there's been a conviction or some type of violent action or some type of sexual crime. In New York State, the university offers an example of this approach. In 2015, the school announced that it would be ignoring the criminal history question and would instead ask students in the supplement portion about their criminal background. In today's economy, the admissions to college and the opportunity to get a college degree is the only chance that these people would have an opportunity to get a passport to the middle class. Most companies would require a college degree to be even considered for the job. I believe that there is a consensus in that the fact an individual that has been 10100041.docx 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 convicted of a crime and has completed their sentence should be given an opportunity and not be barred from having an opportunity to be in the middle class. And I know that we’ve had a long debate in regards to this issue, but this Bill does not prohibit anyone from questioning that person or looking into that criminal background. And I would really appreciate your reconsideration into House Bill 217. Thank you."
"This Bill is on the Order of Standard Debate. Three speakers on each side. Representative Hammond, do you rise in support or opposition?"
"Opposition."
"Please proceed."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates she'll yield."
"Representative, I appreciate that you are making an effort to make higher education available to a larger pool of individuals. However, we had a lot of discussion in committee and, first and foremost, one of the… one of the problems we have here is we don’t have a common app currently that covers all of our universities in the State of Illinois. Our Higher Ed Working Group has been discussing that for two years. We are not there yet. We are doing our very best to get there, but we, in fact, are not there yet. We only have three of our public universities that currently use a common app. So procedurally that becomes an issue. But I think the bigger issue here is as we are doing our best to keep our Illinois students in the State of Illinois, to attract more students into our institutions of higher education in the State of 10100041.docx 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 Illinois, we also want to send a message to parents and guardians that when you send your children away to school they will be safe, they will be protected. With this initiative, Representative, we cannot assure our parents that their children will be safe. There was law enforcement that testified in committee in opposition of this initiative and they, too, share the same concerns. We need to do more work on this. We need to slow this down. First and foremost, we have to have a common app that is used by at least, at the very least, all of our public institutions in the State of Illinois and any community colleges that provide housing for their students. That is first and foremost. Because it is incumbent upon us here in this chamber and the chamber across the hall that we first and foremost protect the children of the State of Illinois, and this does not do that, Representative. And I urge a ‘no’ vote."
"Representative Keicher, do you rise in support or opposition?"
"Opposition to the Bill."
"Please proceed."
"I admire what the Representative is attempting to do today. But I urge a backdoor to allow for a process in place that would help address the concerns of so many of the universities that we find in our state. This Bill, as it stands, would put convicted felons in co-habitational dorms with 17 and 18 year old youngsters leaving home for the first time. While I understand the need to forgive past misdeeds, I need the Sponsor to know that situations will come up that warrant additional flexibility in the admissions process as 10100041.docx 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 it pertains to violent felons. While NIU is not a violent place, we have a sad, sad history on our campus of events that have impacted the student body and the alumni. One occurred a few months ago in Aurora, Illinois. We live on a campus with a constant reminder of February 14, 2009. I have with me today a letter from the Northern University Student Senate and I'd like to read just a section. 'The students of Northern Illinois University are consistently aware the surrounding area of DeKalb, Illinois is consistently compromised with multiple concerns of safety. With the beginning of Project Orange, which is a campaign designed to advocate against violence and create safety in the month of February, the student association has tackled the issue of violence and safety time and again. Additionally, the student association understands that the intent of HB217 is designed to aide recruitment and retention of college students with prior felonies. Increasing applicants to Northern Illinois University and other Illinois Universities is likely an intent of this Bill, however, the creation of concerns and safety implications of HB217 arguably outweigh what gains could be made in the areas of recruitment and retention. Safety should always be considered a number one priority. With all this stated, it is the official position of the Student Association Senate of Northern Illinois University that it be against the passage of HB217 as it currently stands to preserve the safety of the students of Northern Illinois University. And we hope to see the Bill amended to reflect the concerns of safety designated with this memorandum.' All we're seeking is a backdoor opportunity. We looked at the 10100041.docx 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 statistics from 2017… and, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Body, I want you to listen to this. We had the statistics from Northern Illinois University, fall of 2017 on the box, there were 132 folks that marked the box. Of those 132 applicants, only 7 were denied entry. Of those 7, 6 were denied entry through not meeting minimum qualifications for admission. One, only one of the 132 who marked the box were denied entry due to the felony indicated by marking the box. This is a situation that can be rectified and accomplish what the Representative is attempting to do as long as we allow the universities discretion on the back end to decide on their admissions. We cannot put the safety of our 17 and 18 year old children in co-habitational dorms at risk the first time they're away from home by allowing convicted felons to reside with them. Thank you. I urge a 'no' vote."
"Representative Guzzardi, do you rise in support or opposition?"
"Pardon me, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates she'll yield."
"Leader Flowers, it’s my understanding that there's talk of further Amendments to this legislation as it heads to the Senate. Are you of that understanding as well?"
"Representative, the advocates from the ACLU and the Heartland Alliance have been working with the University of Illinois to figure out if there is a way to get an agreement on this Bill. And they’re very close, but they're just not there yet. And we are still working toward that goal." 10100041.docx 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019
"So let me lay out my understanding of where this is headed, and you can tell me if I'm correct about that. My understanding is that the objective of the Amendment is to create a process by which the universities would provisionally admit the students without looking at their record. It would be a sort of provisional acceptance. And then once they are admitted, the universities could look at any prior convictions and any pending charges against that student and if the universities deem that student to be a threat to campus safety they could then withdraw that provisional acceptance. Is that your understanding of the direction this Bill is heading in?"
"That is my understanding."
"So the universities would ultimately still have some discretion here about whether these students were indeed a threat to campus safety?"
"That's correct."
"So that seems to me like a very sensible and responsible compromise that this Bill will ultimately represent."
"Thank you, Representative. And I just want to say also that the University of Illinois have agreed to remove their opposition for the purpose of moving this Bill to the Senate where we can continue their conversation. That's the information that I just received from the ACLU."
"Thank you, Leader Flowers. To the Bill. I appreciate Leader Flowers efforts in this area. I believe that based on these negotiations, this Bill is close. And I know that there is more work to be done and it seems like the University of 10100041.docx 36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 Illinois has asked that we move this Bill over to the Senate to finish that good work. So I ask that we stand with the University of Illinois and with those who are negotiating in good faith on this. Pass this Bill over to the Senate and get the work done. I urge an 'aye' vote."
"Representative Halpin, do you rise in support or opposition?"
"Support, Mr. Speaker."
"Please proceed."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates she'll yield."
"And, Representative, actually Representative Guzzardi mentioned many of the things I was going to say. As you know, you and I had a discussion last time this was in the record and I had many of the same concerns, but you have at least spoken with the ACLU and University of Illinois to try to address these final remaining issues, correct?"
"Yes."
"And so with that, I would still oppose the Bill in its current form, but with that understanding and my knowledge of how honorable a Representative you are, I would ask for a 'yes' vote today."
"Representative Brady, do you rise in support or opposition? Please proceed."
"Thank you very much. To the Bill, Ladies and Gentlemen. The good Representative and I have had numerous discussions and last time the Bill was up had numerous discussions on the House Floor. And today, unfortunately, Representative, I still represent a university that is opposed to this 10100041.docx 37 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 legislation. I know there has been numerous attempts of trying to find that common ground. As I said weeks ago, I'll stand and say the same again today. I still believe, as well as that of those in the law enforcement side of things, that my university, Illinois State University, that there is clauses within the legislation that will tie their hands in the way of the application process which will inhibit and have potential greater risk for students calling Illinois State University home. And for that reason I will be voting 'no'. And I certainly look forward to working with you as you've brought some new information forward, but in the present form and the situation that I have been aware of in committee and on our discussions on the floor, Representative, I'll be voting 'no'. Thank you."
"This Bill has been on the Order of Standard Debate. There have been three Speakers on either side. Representative Flowers to close."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, once again, I just want to reiterate that the ACLU and the University of Illinois and others have been negotiating. And I received a text message shortly, a few minutes ago that the University of Illinois have agreed to remove their opposition for the purpose of moving this Bill to the Senate, where the negotiations can continue. These people are trying to better themselves. The University of Illinois want to help them. The ACLU want to help them. Why is it that we don’t want to do the same? This Bill does not prohibit anyone from looking into the background of these ex-offenders. That's not what the Bill does. You can still look into their background. Again, this is about helping 10100041.docx 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 we, the people in Illinois. This is about bringing more money into the General Revenue Fund. These people were a tax burden at one time, they were costing us money. And so, now they want to better their lives. They've learned from their mistakes. They want to become a part of the working class, of the middle class. They have an opportunity to go to school. That's all they're asking for. To be able to take care of themselves and to take care of their families. Once again, I want you to know that if I thought that having a person with a background or not knowing their background would make a campus safer, I would never send my child to school just because I know a person's background. Because we do know that the crimes that does happen on the campus, some of these people don’t have a background. So, once again, I just want to reiterate that the University of Illinois, the ACLU we still want to continue to work for the betterment of all of us, of all the people, the State of Illinois. And I would humbly and beg you, please, to vote 'yes'. Thank you."

I was unable to get those changes back to committee. I have spoken to the minority chairperson and to Representative Slaughter from the Judicial – Criminal Committee and they are comfortable with me passing it out today to get those changes made in the Senate. There's about 10 changes that State Police are requesting. They all deal with clarifying portions of the statute including partner lab definitions and deadlines for submissions. So at this point I'm looking forward to working with the Senate Sponsor to get those changes made, but in order to get it out today, I would request an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Thank you. Representative, we've talked about this. I believe it’s a good Bill. But I know that you’re still working on it and I believe you can make this a nearly perfect Bill. And in our conversations we know you're going to move this over to the Senate and do that. So we want to send a message to our friends over in the Senate that we still have some work to do on this. So we may have a few folks on this side that vote 'no', however, this is not a bad Bill. And I'm happy to see that you're doing it and that you're willing to continue to work on this over in the Senate. Thank you."

And I'll be more than happy to answer any of the questions that you have."
"Is there any discussion? Representative Bourne."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill. This is I think something that every student needs to learn. I think it actually needs to start before they enter into any formal education that we teach character and respecting people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, anything else, but again, this is one more mandate that we're putting on teachers. I think most of them… all of the teachers that I know try to instill character education into their course work every day, but requiring this, I think, is another difficult mandate. So I would ask my colleagues to vote 'no'."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the previous speaker spoke and said, current law is teaching character education and people have to come in contact with other people from all walks of life.

He was instrumental during the Pontiac Prison riots in the '70s in Pontiac, Illinois in restoring stability to that prison and order to that prison after those 10100041.docx 47 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day 4/12/2019 riots.
