Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turn off all cell phones, and rise for the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Padget." 10200024.docx 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"We will be led in the Pledge of Allegiance today by Representative Severin."

"Roll Call for Attendance. Leader Harris is recognized to report any excused absences on the Democratic side of the aisle."

"Let the record reflect that Representatives Ammons and Gordon-Booth are excused today."

"Leader Welter is recognized to report any excused absences on the Republican side of the aisle."

"Have all recorded themselves who wish? Mr. Clerk, please the record. There being 113 Members answering the roll call, a quorum is present. Members, an announcement. This is 10200024.docx 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 a reminder about House Rule 51.5. Please remember to wear a face covering that covers your nose and mouth, except when necessary for eating or drinking. This includes when speaking on the microphone at your desk. Again, remember to wear a face covering, including while speaking on the microphone. And this is pursuant to House Rule 51.5. Thank you. Mr. Clerk, Committee Reports."

"Representative Andrade, for what reason do you seek recognition?"

"Madam Speaker, just for a point of information for the parliamentarian. Am I within the time limit to call immediate Motion to reconsider if someone goes home after they pass their Bill?"

"We'll get back to you. Members, we're on Short Debate. We got a lot to do. I appreciate your cooperation. Short Debate means the Bill Sponsor presents their Bill and one Member in opposition, not opposition-ish. Opposition. Setting the tone here, Leader Batinick. Okay.

"Representative Kifowit on the Amendment." 10200024.docx 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"Thank you, Madam Chair. The Amendment just keeps the underlying Bill in negotiations. It amends the composition of the veterans… Veterans Prevention Suicide Commission. I ask for its adoption."

"Representative Kifowit moves for the adoption of Floor Amendment 1 to House Bill 2628. All those in favor say 'aye'; opposed 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill. Mr. Clerk, any further Amendments?"

"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Kifowit."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I was appointed to the Governor's Challenge, which is a nationwide initiative of states to work to prevent veterans' suicide. Twenty-two other states have a Veterans Prevention Suicide Commission. This models what other states do in order to have a holistic all- state on-hands initiative to prevent veterans' suicide. This forms the commission. Again, over 22 other states have this type of form of commission. And I ask for your support in preventing veterans' suicide."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 2628 pass?' All those in favor vote 'aye'; opposed 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. On this question, there are 111 voting in 'favor', 0 voting 'opposed', 0 voting 'present'. This Bill, having received a 10200024.docx 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On Third Reading, page 20, House Bill 3850, Representative LaPointe. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill. Representative, you have an Amendment. Would you like to roll it back to Second, adopt the Amendment?"

"Speaker…"

"Mr. Clerk."

"Representative LaPointe on the Amendment."

"House Amendment 3 was unanimously adopted in committee, and it integrates feedback from DHS and the Special Supreme Court Advisory Committee for Justice and Mental Health Planning, which is a committee of judges that implement treatment courts all around the state. I ask for its adoption."

"Representative LaPointe moves for the adoption of Floor Amendment 3 to House Bill 3850. All those in favor say 'aye'; opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk, any further Amendments?"

"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative LaPointe."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today, I present HB3850, which is a Bill that better standardizes our three treatment 10200024.docx 14  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 court statutes and better aligns them with evidence-based practices. These are our drug courts, our mental health courts, and our veterans' courts. Sometimes called problem solving courts, these courts are a critical tool in our menu of options of alternatives to incarceration, and they hold people accountable while also getting at the root causes of crime. We have a lot of research about what the evidence based around treatment courts are because they've been around for a while and they’ve proliferated nationally and around the State of Illinois. So, in short, this Bill updates the three statutes, brings them in alignment with evidence-based practices. And I'd be happy to answer any questions."

"On this question, 'Shall House Bill 3850 pass?' All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?

House Bill 317, House Floor Amendment #1 to the Bill changes the provisions added in the underlying Bill to specify the air ambulance services or other entities that directly or indirectly engaging in business of 10200024.docx 15  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 insurance or as insurance… insurancer, sorry, for the purposes of covering patient costs solicits, accepts applications, or charges fees for air ambulance services. We want to make sure that this regulation is regulated by the Department of Insurance. I ask for its adoption."

"Representative Jones moves for the adoption of Floor Amendment #1 to House Bill 317. All those in favor say 'aye'; opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk, any further Amendments?"

"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Representative Jones."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd just like to state quickly that this Bill does not outlaw the issue of memberships. This Bill seeks to allow the Department of Insurance to regulate companies that sell insurance products but are not regulated by the Department of Insurance. We had a healthy debate in the Insurance Committee regarding this Bill. There has been some legal action that has been taken. We tried to incorporate that into the Amendment. This Bill, as I said, does not outright… outlaw membership, it just allows the Department of Insurance to regulate any insurance product. There's one opponent to the Bill, and of course, one proponent. I would be available to answer any questions regarding the Bill." 10200024.docx 16  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"We're on Short Debate. I have two people with their lights on. Pick one. Leader Batinick, do you rise in opposition?"

"Okay. Please continue."

"To the Bill."

Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"Representative Lilly on Amendment 1."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen. The Amendment is in discussion and has been in discussion with DOC. We are looking to continue our discussion. Time did get away with from us. So, with that, I'm looking to finish the work in the Senate."

"Representative, can we debate this on Third? Good. That's what I'm going to do, just so you all know. If you want to do it differently, let me know. I'm so crabby, aren’t I? What has happened to Natalie? Representative Lilly has moved for the adoption of Floor Amendment 1. All those in favor say 'aye'; opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk, any further Amendments?"

"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Lilly."

"Thank you. And respect for you and your request to keep it short. And thank you to the Floor Leader over there.

This Bill was supported in our conversations and the thought behind it from DOC, CMS, DJJ. We would like to continue the conversations so we can support the needs of our correctional officers in their place of employment. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"The Chair recognizes Representative Windhorst. Thank you for your patience."

"Representative Lilly to close."

"Thank you. In talking with CMS, DOC, and AFSCME, each and every one of those personnel agree that this was a concern within the department. We did run out of time. They do have some ideas that they are wanting to put on paper. It is important that we support our correctional officers in the setting because there's increased number of suicides that are going on within that industry. We must begin to not only address those issues within the DOC but also just creating a 10200024.docx 19  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 healthy environment. The cost… the cost is not determined, but it would be part of the health plan that we talked about. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Mason."

"Thank you again, Madam Speaker. House Bill 33 prohibits insurance companies in Illinois from canceling, terminating, or refusing to renew a person's life insurance policy solely on the basis of his or her participation in a substance abuse disorder treatment or recovery support program no less than five years from the date of the program. It also prevents them from denying insurance coverage because of a prescription for an opioid antagonist drug such as naloxone. So, for example, I may have a family member who has an opioid addiction and I may get a prescription for naloxone. And currently, I would be denied life insurance. Similar with first responders who carry that drug. I welcome questions. Ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Chair recognizes Leader Batinick for three minutes."

"She indicates she will."

"It did remove the opponent from Illinois Life Health and Insurance Council. I haven’t heard from the other opponents. They had the same issues. So, I'm assuming 'yes' since I haven’t heard from them. But nobody reached out to me at any point."

"Because we added a five-year waiting period. So, somebody has to be outside of their drug or their rehab program for five years…"

"…before this goes into effect."

"Thank you."

"Representative Mason to close."

Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Leader Ramirez on the Amendment."

"Good morning, Speaker. House Floor Amendment 1 to House Bill 3100 is a page and line Amendment. It only clarifies that the initial mandated reporter training shall include a 10200024.docx 22  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 section on implicit bias training. Currently, House Floor Amendment to House Bill 3100 has language such that the initial… that the implicit bias training is separate from the training that they already provide. This Floor Amendment makes it possible to just incorporate it to the current mandated reported training."

"Leader Ramirez moves for the adoption of Floor Amendment 1 to House Bill 3100. All those in favor say 'aye'; opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk, any further Amendments?"

"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Leader Ramirez."

"Thank you, Speaker. House Bill 3100 is an initiative of the Illinois Collaboration on Youth. The Bill, what it does, it updates the required training curriculum for mandated reporters to include training on implicit bias. DCFS currently already provides this training. And what this Bill will do is it will just incorporate it in the current mandated reporter training so that every time a mandated reporter takes their training, either at the beginning of employment or after the renewal, they'll be able to also participate in implicit bias training. The current law requires that all mandated reporters go through training every three years, and this will make sure that this implicit bias training is built into the curriculum. This is a good Bill. I appreciate the work of 10200024.docx 23  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 the advocates in bringing this Bill. And I urge an 'aye' vote."

"Representative Slaughter on the Amendment."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to adopt Floor Amendment #1 to House Bill 3616. The Amendment provides a minor clarifying provision that moved AFSCME into support of the Bill. I'd like to present the substantial provisions of the Bill on Third Reading."

"Representative Slaughter."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 3616 will assist individuals that are found unfit to stand trial to be restored to fitness in the community rather than in state-operated inpatient mental health facilities. The Bill establishes a clear standard and procedure to guide courts in ordering outpatient restoration for defendants. We worked with AFSCME on this Bill. They're now in support of this initiative. As the Bill moved through the process, there was a concern regarding access and availability throughout our state to provide these outpatient services. As the Sponsor, I shared that concern. Recently in committee, we had valuable testimony from the Department of Human Services that assured us that we have indeed expanded these treatment services statewide and that we do have the capacity to adequately provide quality outpatient restoration programs in every region of the state. I urge a 'yes' vote."

"The Chair recognizes Leader Durkin."

"He indicates that he will."

"That… that's accurate, Leader Durkin." 10200024.docx 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"These are… yeah, these are defendants that have been found unfit."

"Instead of going to inpatient, what we're doing now is allowing them to receive quality treatment in an outpatient…"

"Absolutely. What our law says is that, when we can, we should always provide the least restrictive treatment, if the quality of the treatment of services is available. And again, what you heard from me was that the Department of Human Services did provide critical testimony in regards to our state's ability to do that."

"One moment, Leader Durkin. The bond would still be in place. This is if they're released on bond."

"I'm reading… this is to the Bill. If the defendant is eligible to be or has been released on bail. That's how I'm reading it. Or even on furlough, Leader."

"We're on page two. Sorry, page one."

"We are on Short Debate. So, we have had one in opposition. We've had the Sponsor speak. So, Representative Slaughter to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Bill establishes a clear standard procedure to guide courts in ordering outpatient restoration for defendants. What we're doing is, not just sending these people back into the community or at home, they are going to be receiving quality treatment. It's just going to be in an outpatient setting. I urge a 'yes' vote."

"Third Reading. Please read the Bill."

"Representative Stuart."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill is just another piece of what came out of the Elder Abuse Task Force that met for months. And this is to put in protections for financial exploitation of elders to make sure that folks in the 10200024.docx 29  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 financial industry are mandated reporters if they see suspicious activity."

"Representative Stoneback on Floor Amendment #1."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Amendment 1 to HB1092 is a gut and replace and becomes the Bill. Floor Amendment 1 will strengthen the Firearms Restraining Order Act by closing loopholes in the original law and educating both law enforcement and the general public on its use. It would ensure that ammunition or any other firearms parts that can be used to assemble an operable firearm are also removed when an order is granted and clarifies who can be a petitioner. It would create a public education campaign to provide information on the FRO to the public. I move for the adoption of the Amendment and happy to answer any questions."

"Third Reading. Please read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Stoneback on House Bill 1092."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and fellow Members. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 154 mass shootings so far this year, 55 of those in the past month 10200024.docx 31  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 alone. As Legislators, we are tasked with not only being the voice of our constituents but also making sure we're passing laws to protect them to the best of our ability. The Firearms Restraining Order, known as FRO, is an Illinois law that went into effect in 2019 in an effort to prevent mass shootings, gun-related domestic violence, and firearm suicides. The law allows family members and law enforcement to petition the courts to obtain a civil order to temporarily remove firearms from people who pose a significant risk to the… of harm to themselves or others. The FRO is another tool in the toolbox to reduce violence by removing lethal means from someone who is exhibiting dangerous behavior. A tool, however, is only useful if it's utilized. Unfortunately, the implementation of the FRO in Illinois has been inconsistent due to a lack of awareness that the law exists. Since becoming law in 2019, only 59 petitions have been granted statewide with only 11 active. By contrast, Maryland passed and implemented a similar law a few months before Illinois, averaging about 75 petitions a month. It's been estimated that for every 10 to 20 orders issued, one life is saved. So, implementation is critical in saving lives. HB1092 would strengthen our Firearms Restraining Order Act by closing loopholes in the original law and educating both law enforcement and the general public on its use. It would also make sure that firearms are removed from a person exhibiting dangerous behavior in a timely manner. To address the lack of awareness, the Bill would create a public education campaign to provide information on the FRO to the general public, subject to appropriations, from the Department of Public Health. Since 10200024.docx 32  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 law enforcement officers are the ones often to file petitions, it would also require yearly training on how to use the law. We've met with many stakeholders to seek advice and input, including state's attorneys, the Office of the Attorney General, Chiefs of Police, the Illinois State Police, advocates in the gun violence prevention and domestic violence spaces, as well as experts from across the country. Their input has helped shape this important Bill to prevent gun tragedies. Through this Bill, we can strengthen our existing FRO law and help prevent mass shootings, hate crimes, and firearm suicides in Illinois. Let's not miss this opportunity to prevent a tragedy like the many we've seen across the nation. Thank you for your time. And I urge an 'aye' vote. I'm happy to answer any questions."

"Thank you, Representative. On House Bill 1092, Representative Reick."

"She indicates she'll yield."

"The Bill's on Standard Debate."

"I was not in the General Assembly. I was an advocate supporting this Bill."

"Well… so, we've been working closely with the Illinois State police and they looked up in LEADS and saw that only 59 petitions statewide in over 2 years had been issued and only 11 were active. So, that was shortly before the time I sent that letter out. And we compare that with other states, and Maryland implemented their version of firearms restraining order a few months before ours and they're now averaging about 75 petitions per month. And so, when we compare that, Maryland has a smaller population than Illinois, it is comparatively low. And we've spoken with many stakeholders and state's attorney's offices who are asking for this. They're saying that they're…"

"Sure."

"I certainly love the people of Illinois."

"Sure."

"I do believe that we do have Republican support. And I also want to just state for the record that I am very grateful to everyone who worked on the original law. I thought it was great that it was passed and signed into law. And really the reason here that I'm bringing this Bill is because we've spoken…"

"Sure."

"G-PAC is not mentioned on the commission."

"Would you like me to address the members of the commission or… okay."

"And my names been called out a number of times during this debate. I appreciate very much the bipartisan support we had on the Bill when we passed it two years ago. I felt strongly it was a good piece of legislation then, I think it's still a good piece of legislation. I will readily admit I have major concerns about changing the definition. That definition was done with input from all parties on both sides of the issue. I felt that it worked at that time. I do have concerns that, while we pass this piece of legislation, many people, law enforcement included, do not know that we have it in place. And that is a part of this Bill that I think is very good. I think making sure that we can have a public education part to it works well. Making sure that people know that this is a resource and something that they can use is a good thing. But I'm going to go back to that agreed upon definition. And we worked really hard for that because we had concerns. We did not want this to become a vindictive thing that someone could use in a divorce situation or just because you don't like your neighbor or something like that. And that's why we worked really hard to get that definition. I have reached out to the Bill Sponsor and requested her to use the original definition. She feels that this is the best way to go. I will tell you, at this point, I am probably going to only vote 'present' on the Bill because I am concerned that we are dialing back things that we put in the original Bill that was bipartisanly supported. Thank you."

"Representative Stoneback to close."

"This is a Bill that will prevent mass shootings, firearm suicides, and firearm-related domestic violence. It 10200024.docx 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 will improve education and awareness around an existing law that we have in place that has been underutilized. I will say that I have been in contact and working on these kinds of laws for a very long time with experts. Very rarely, only anecdotally is any petitioner ever accused of bringing a false claim around one of these orders. This is a critical Bill to prevent gun violence and mass shootings. And we've been seeing one mass shooting after another every week. We have to remember Atlanta, Indianapolis last week. In Indianapolis, the mother of a 19-year-old shooter reached out to police and asked… you know, with concerns about his mental state. They did not fully implement their version of our firearms restraining order and that is why the tragedy happened. Here we have an opportunity to prevent a tragedy like that here in Illinois. So, I strongly urge and would appreciate an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Representative Tarver on House Bill 3878."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a Bill that… we already have a fund for rental housing support… the Rental Housing Support Program through IHDA. This Bill would increase the recordation fee from $9 to $18 and $1 to $10. So, it's a fee that, when you are fortunate enough to purchase a house, you can help individuals who may not have housing or be housing insecure. I think this will probably affect people two to three times, for the most part, over the course of their life. So, I would think that 27… $36 or so is sufficient to pay into a kitty to help individuals who are housing insecure. I urge an 'aye' vote. Oh actually, I'm sorry, I'll know they'll 10200024.docx 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 be questions, but let me make sure to note that initially the recorders were in opposition. They worked very well with us and provided us some great suggestions for the Bill, which we took under advisement. I think we have a good Bill because of that. I want to thank the realtors as well, who've come out in support who and really, really helped to work the roll call with us. Also want to thank Representative Stoneback who had a similar Bill but agreed to work with us and the advocates to get what you have before you today. Happy to answer any questions."

"Thank you, Representative. On House Bill 3878, Representative Welter."

"He indicates he'll yield."

"You mean through IHDA or…"

"Through the… the local granting agencies that are selected."

"Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Yes."

"I believe nine dollars. Well, it's a little tricky in the Bill, but the upshot of it is, where you pay $9 you would pay 18, where you pay $21 you will now pay 31. So, it's a $10 increase. And I want to say, I know your nexus, but part of the reason for the $10 is because we wanted to make sure to include… to double the administrative fee that we provide for the recorders right now. They were already getting a one dollars, now it will be two dollars to help them defray the cost of the administration."

"I think in general there's just a lack of funding for individuals who are housing insecure. I think we still need more funds. And at a time when we have a tight budget, I think this is an opportunity where individuals who are fortunate enough to purchase a house have the ability to help those who may be a little bit less fortunate."

"Thank you, Representative."

"Representative Guzzardi."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill. I want to thank Representative Tarver for his work on this issue. Just briefly to say that, to the Gentleman from Grundy County, there are 16 units of rental housing support program housing in Grundy county. That’s more than almost any rural county in the state. 10200024.docx 43  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 This program is… in statute it describes that the program needs to fund units in large metropolitan areas, in small metropolitan areas, and in rural communities. And the program has done a phenomenal job to this point of getting resources to rural communities for people who are housing insecure. However, we want to continue to expand this program into more communities that aren’t currently served by it but the only way to expand the program is to put more resources into it. Right now, the dollars that go into the program fund the units that the program supports. If we want to get more units in more areas, we need more dollars. I urge an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 3878 pass?' All in favor vote 'aye'; all opposed vote 'nay'. I apologize. Mr. Tarver… Representative Tarver, please close. I apologize."

"No. No problem, Leader Hoffman. Let me just say, I was doing some very quick numbers, and I want to be clear when we're talking about what people are paying. If you paid $9 on the recordation fee for a $25 thousand house, which I don’t know where those exist, but the percentage of that would be .00036. We're asking people, wherever they live in the state, to pay an additional nine dollars or so to make sure individuals who are housing insecure can find housing. And if we start with the debate of what people are generating the funds and where they go, the last time I checked, those motor fuel taxes, those… large part comes from Chicagoland area. And we don’t complain when roads get paved in Southern Illinois. This is about housing, the ability for individuals 10200024.docx 44  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 to have a place to lay their heads at night. Nine dollars. Nine dollars is what we're talking about. And I want to be clear, there's a task force, to Representative… Leader Welter's point, that will look at the issue of equitable distribution. It will issue a report by March 31, 2022, and there is an individual that will be appointed specifically to look at rural areas. So, we took all that into account. I think we have a great Bill. I urge an 'aye' vote. And I wanted to thank you also, Chairman Guzzardi, in closing for all of your help in getting us to a point that where we had a good Bill and twisting our arm to work with the recorders and some other folks as well. I urge an 'aye' vote. Nine dollars to keep people in their houses. Thank you very much."

I want to thank the plethora of bipartisan support on this legislation. Domestic violence related homicides account for 15 percent of homicides in Illinois. And at least 130 domestic violence related homicides occurred in Illinois in 2019 with an economic impact of $1.2 billion. And I'm… we haven’t seen the numbers for 2020, but we've heard many of stories of how there was domestic violence increases due to the stay-at-home orders.

Right now, I ask for you to help me support this legislation. The Governor's Office, ICJIA is on board with this legislation.

"Thank you, Speaker. I want to start by thanking everyone who has put so much time and energy with me into this Bill. Many hours were spent by Legislators, staff, insurers, health care providers, and patient advocates on working out the details of this legislation. House Bill 3498 empowers Illinoisans to receive the right care, at the right place, at the right time. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, both the State and Federal Government enacted policy changes to make telehealth services easier to access and provide. These 10200024.docx 66  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 coverage and payment flexibilities have allowed the health care community to make significant, rapid investment in telehealth technology. Over the last year, we've seen firsthand evidence that telehealth preserves quality and safety, meets individual patient needs, decreases health care disparities, and protects public health. Allowing patients to receive health care services through telehealth, whether it be in there home or another safe and convenient location, reduces and eliminates barriers that worsen health care disparities. Easier access to care leads to healthier patients and saves lives. Telehealth also reduces overall health care costs by making it easier to manage chronic conditions, keeping patients out of the emergency room and other expensive care settings. Mental health and physical health are two sides of the same coin. Limiting access to telehealth services for either mental health or physical health will have a negative impact on the patients overall health outcome. Marvin Lindsey, CEO of the Community Behavioral Healthcare Association of Illinois, stated that people with serious mental illness and/or substance abuse disorder die on an average of 25 years earlier than the general population. The vast majority of these deaths are due to chronic physical medical conditions that could be more effectively treated via telehealth. The COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating to Illinois. We must not let the lessons we have learned during this difficult time go to waste, including the lesson that telehealth is an important tool for improving the health of Illinois residents. Now is the time for the General Assembly to shape the future health care delivery in 10200024.docx 67  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 Illinois by passing a truly comprehensive telehealth legislation. I would appreciate your support. And I would also like you to know that we are… we have worked very diligently for a very long time with a large coalition. And we… I also want to thank Representative Jones. I know that this Body is very committed to making telehealth permanent, and I want you to know that we have a commitment. I have a commitment with Senator Hunter to continue these conversations as we have come to a impasse currently with the insurance industry on physical health parity payment. And those conversations will continue in the Senate. And I'm happy to answer any questions."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen. 802 requires municipalities receiving or using state funds, either partially or fully, for the purposes of municipal projects to adopt an ordinance or resolution creating diversity and inclusion goals for projects in that municipality. Provides that diversity inclusion requirements and goals, to the extent possible, being no less restrictive than diversity requirements and goals provided under the BEP Act of the State of Illinois. I really want to take this opportunity to thank Representative Chesney who has shared with me the need to do this kind of effort at the municipal level. He has expressed concerns about, kind of, using a one- size-fits-all scenario. So, what we'd like to do is hopefully pass this out and then continue to work in the Senate where we can maybe tier the inclusion of municipalities so that larger municipalities that have more capacity can do this more immediately, but then smaller municipalities, they would be phased in over time. That is something that I have agreed to and would like to continue to work on with… just for the sake of putting it out there already, someone may ask, we know that the IML is opposed. I had an opportunity to talk to their representative this morning who says that he is not opposed to the intent of what we are trying to do. But very similar to that which Representative Chesney is speaking of, he is concerned about the one-size-fits-all and how immediately asking smaller municipalities to do this may cause them to stumble. So, again, we'd like to work on how we structure it to allow for smaller municipalities to 10200024.docx 69  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 eventually get there, but certainly have larger municipalities that have capacity to be able to do this a lot quicker. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, fellow Members. Today I rise to speak on House Bill 3438, a Bill to designate undocumented student liaisons on public university and community college campuses. This Bill will create equitable 10200024.docx 85  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 access towards degree completion for immigrant and mixed status students across Illinois. First, second, and third generation immigrant-origin students are responsible for 60 percent of college enrollment across the U.S. House Bill 3438 recognizes the diverse and unique needs of these students in Illinois and ensures they have the support they need to be successful. This positive change will support all undocumented and mixed status students regardless of ethnicity. It is especially important for immigrant students to have support from liaisons who are familiar with how the immigration system interacts with higher education. This Bill does not require implementation of a new office or hiring of new staff. Over 80 institutions in Illinois are already doing this type of work, and we are asking to give a title to the critical role these folks play in the lives of students and families and to uplift the position to make it more accessible. The success of all students in Illinois is a direct benefit to the future economic success of a rich and vibrant state. In short, not only is House Bill 3438 good for students, families, and institutions of higher education, it is also good for the economy of Illinois. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

Speaker Manley: "Representative Hammond, do you rise in opposition?"

"To the Bill."

"Representative Hirschauer to close."

"Thank you. I respectfully disagree with my colleague. There is a lack of consistency in our public universities and community colleges. And not all universities have a go-to person and you need to wait often for a long time to find a person in the upper level of administration to find the support you need. We are not asking for the creation of a new position. We are uplifting the work that's already been doing and presenting a model for other institutions to follow. Quickly, I would like to say that the idea for this Bill was brought to me by my district director, Miguel Molina-Ventura, who came to this country from Mexico as a young child. He is a DACA recipient who followed his path from community college to attend Valparaiso University. He knows firsthand the struggles that undocumented and mixed students face in accessing financial aid, housing, and pathways to citizenship. Now Miquel is doing amazing work on behalf of the State of Illinois, helping folks in our community navigate the unemployment system, helping to plan mass vaccination clinics, and doing his very best for the people of the 49th District. He is just one of many shining examples of how lifting up and supporting students in Illinois can lead to powerful change. Education is a right for all people regardless of their status.

"Representative Slaughter."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 3587 creates a task force to examine and recommend innovative methods to implement discretionary and retroactive resentencing of offenders. As we look to address our mass incarceration crisis, it's important that our state provides second-look opportunities for offenders to ultimately petition the courts to get their cases rereviewed and resentenced. This is a very important matter regarding our criminal justice system. A few Members in the General Assembly in both chambers have resentencing Bills. As states across the country start to look at resentencing, we need to be at the forefront of this as a national model. Whether it's judges in our courts, correctional agencies, or even offenders that initiate these efforts, we'd like this task force to put forth comprehensive recommendations to establish and implement this intervention. We just passed a Bill earlier today that empowers state's attorneys to initiate resentencing. This task force would look at or examine the other ways that we can bring about resentencing and how that can happen. I'm asking graciously to vote this Bill out of this chamber. Of course, I remain open to any suggestions or Amendments in the Senate that could make the task force more impactful and more comprehensive. The Bill came out of committee on bipartisan leave. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a task force. Okay? I ask for a 'yes' vote."

It clarifies that the consumer is not, once again, liable for any fees or any charge that was made in violation of this section. And it also does not apply to people when they request an extension of credit or when a consumer has an existing relationship with a financial institution. We've worked with the other side on this, Representative… Leader Davidsmeyer and Representative Keicher, in particular.

"Representative Cassidy."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. House Bill 2784 is an initiative of Access Living, working with the parents of Stephon Edward Watts for whom this Act would be named. Stephon was a 15-year-old autistic child who… whose father had always been afraid that he'd have to call the police if he lost control of his son. And he resisted and didn’t call and didn’t call. His mother had called a couple times. So, the officers were familiar with Stephon. Stephon's father called 9-1-1 and the officers responding in a very high-profile case in 2012 out of Calumet City. And I know that my colleague Mayor Jones is very familiar with the case, we've talked about how heartbreaking it was. He was shot by the police upon arrival and killed. When you call 9-1-1 for a medical emergency, you appropriately get a medical response. When you call 9-1-1 and someone's breaking into your home, you appropriately get police or criminal response. But when you call 9-1-1 in a mental health crisis, you don’t get a mental health response. This has led to unnecessary and dangerous situations and this Bill aims to create alternatives that allow well-trained mental health professionals to respond to these crisis situations. Some of you may have heard of the CAHOOTS program in Eugene, Oregon. This would create a similar system here. But we also know that this cannot be a one-size-fits-all response, which is why we built in the flexibility for each emergency response region to design their systems in a way that makes sense for their communities. The language was 10200024.docx 108  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 changed to recognize that DHS has a new federal mandate to create a 9-8-8 number in service to respond to suicide prevention and mental health crises. We amended the Bill to recognize DHS's 9-8-8 work and… recognizing that they are setting up the 9-8-8 system, but it will require that 9-1-1 and 9-8-8 coordinate and ensure that we do the right kind of public education to steer people towards the 9-8-8 number. This will allow us to make that bridge happen. DHS is now supportive, and we remain in conversation with the 9-1-1 operators who feel very confident that in the Senate we can find some comfortable language and get to agreement there. And I ask for…"

"Chair recognizes leader Batinick."

"She indicates she will."

"Yes. I spoke to the representative of the 9-1-1 operators yesterday, and he's very comfortable with where we are."

"We're on Short Debate. Representative Jones, would you like to take a very quick comment? Thank you."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I just rise in… just to highlight how important this Bill is. In 2012, I was an alderman in Calumet City. And this was one of the darkest days in Calumet City where an autistic young boy was shot by a police officer. And this is not the last incidence that happened. There was an incident that happened in Chicago with an autistic young man. I have a family, my nephew is autistic. And I think it's important to highlight that many departments have not gone the way of training their officers properly when they get a 9-1-1 call with someone with a mental health issue or who's autistic. And I want to commend the Representative for not only bringing this Bill, but also highlighting the importance of Stephon Watts and his family who continue to live in Calumet City, who continue to be a part of the community. I just want to thank the Representative and encourage everyone to vote 'yes' on this Bill."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to present HB3739. This Bill creates the Lead Service Replacement Act. Members, there is no safe level of lead in our state. This great state tackled this issue in 1978. And let me remind all of you that we had the opportunity in 2019 to tackle this issue when we all voted for the capital Bill. We did not put anything in place to tackle this issue, so no dollars went to it. Members, let us not let this happen again. The time is now. President 10200024.docx 111  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 Joe Biden, Senator Dick Durbin, Senator Tammy Duckworth all have supported funding for these efforts. This Bill will make sure we have a mechanism in place to capture and take advantage of funding, finally, to make sure that our state has clean drinking water. Everyone should be able to drink clean water without any issue, no matter what financial capabilities you have, where you live in this state. We have many environmental public health and labor groups in support of this Bill. I have also worked with Water Works Association, private utilities, and IML, and I have removed all of their opposition. I ask you today for an 'aye' vote to make sure, again, that everyone in this state has clean drinking water. Thank you."

"Chair recognizes Representative Reick."

"He indicates that he will."

"No, Sir. I will lean on your wisdom."

"Again, Representative, our President and our two U.S. Senators have talked about this issue. They've talked about putting a huge funding mechanism across the United States to tackle this issue. But, Representative, we have to have a mechanism to be able to do so. And this Bill put forth, we'll be able to do that. So, when the funding does happen, we can be able to acquire it. If we don’t, then we're back at square one and not being able to provide folks in this great state with clean drinking water."

"Plan B is that our municipalities across this state will have until 2027 to be able to figure out the funding mechanism to be able to do this. Representative, the time is now. We cannot continue to stall this."

"Okay. I tried."

"Thank you."

"We're still on a timer though. Okay?"

"Standard Debate, on a timer. Would you like somebody… you've pretty much exceeded your time. Would 10200024.docx 113  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 somebody like to give their time? Representative Grant.

"Leader Spain, thank you for your question. The consequences is that our folks cannot continue to be in a situation where they cannot have clean drinking water, where folks that are already saddled with financial obligation have to go out and buy bottles of water. We know the issues in our community where folks are hurting."

"Leader Spain, again, the consequences is that folks, particularly youth, we know that lead is an issue. We know that lead has mental elements. We know this, Leader Spain. And so, I'm asking this Body to be able to circumvent that and finally put this in bed. In 1972… 1978, excuse me, we tackled this issue in paint. Here we are in 2021 tackling the same issue, where we have the opportunity to do so right now, Leader Spain."

"Representative… would somebody like to give time to Representative Spain?"

"Representative Luft."

"Representative Mayfield, do you rise in support?" 10200024.docx 117  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates that he will."

"Representative, can you repeat again what level of lead is safe in our water?"

"Representative Mayfield, zero."

"Zero percent of lead in the water is safe for us to consume. Is that correct?"

"That is correct, Representative."

"And can you speak to the effects of lead in the water that it has on our children?"

"Representative, I pause because this effects poor brown and black communities across our state. Major health concerns with our children, again, in poor black and brown communities that cannot go out and buy this every day. It's a mental health issue that I'm asking this Body to alleviate today."

"So, you're also addressing an equity issue in these poor communities who do not have access to high-quality, clean, lead-free, drinking water. Is that correct?"

"That is correct."

"Thank you so much, Representative, for this Bill. I urge an 'aye' vote for our children, if not for any other reason than to make sure we are providing safe, clean drinking water for our children, particularly in the lowest income areas, including the rural areas that are represented by the other side of the aisle. Thank you so much."

That plan B is the EPA has low-interest loans for municipalities. We can utilize these low-interest loans, particularly the mayors that are in this chamber, to make sure that we can eradicate lead in our homes. This is a safety issue across our state.

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 93 amends the Real Estate License Act and the Real Estate Appraisers License Act. It prohibits discrimination by brokers and appraisers when preparing a brokers price opinion or comparative market analysis for residential real estate. The Bill provides that a broker, manager broker, or appraiser… or an appraiser discriminates when he or she considers the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of the owner of the real estate or the resident of the geographical area in which the real estate is located in when determining the market value of real estate. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a very important Bill. In my community, when you think about the wealth gap that African Americans and Hispanics have lost because our property is valued lower but our taxes is higher. And when you think about the unscrupulous things that’s been happening, and there has not been anyone that has been brought up for charges for the wrong that has been done for generations, and again, the wealth that has been lost in my community for years, and years, and years. It was written some place that it would take 700 years for us to catch up because of the discrimination in regards to the appraiser or the real estate value of the property. So, for the sake of 10200024.docx 121  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 time, I would appreciate an 'aye' vote.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. What his Amendment would've done was to put the Bill back in its original… in the original form… in the law that… the current law that it is right now. It would've left it within the Department of Human Rights. When we were in committee, I asked the Department of Human Rights, don’t name me five, just give me one, give me one issue that has been brought forward in regards to the discrimination or the theft of a person's property because of the way that the appraiser had valued the property. Just bring me one. I asked him… I asked him also to tell me whether the department…"

"…I just want to…"

"Leader Flowers to close."

"The difference is it's within the Department of Human Rights now. This Bill would also make it a civil… it would also put this in the licensing statute with the Illinois Department of Professional Regulations. So, there lies the difference, Sir.

It does a few things.

I'm open for any questions and look forward to the discussion. And before any questions, let me make it clear that, according to the Chicago Recovery Alliance, the purpose of House Bill 110 is to address the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic. In 2019, the Department of Public Health, DPH, reported that 14,592 nonfatal and 2,219 10200024.docx 124  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 fatal opioid overdose. This is a three percent fatal increase from 2018. The Chicago Recovery Alliance argues that research has supported the implementation of a safe consumption program in over 10 countries. In 2017, the International Journal of Drug Policy reported that safe consumption programs reduced overdose deaths, and increased drug treatment, and reduced social nuisance in public places. I'm open for any questions at this time."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 110 pass?' All those in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'nay'. Voting's open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. Representative Ford."

"Thank the Lord for Postponed Consideration."

"Mr. Clerk, please put this Bill on Postponed Consideration. Page 19, House Bill 1855, Leader Hoffman. Mr. Clerk, please read the Bill."

"Leader Hoffman."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Before I do the Bill, I would like for the purposes of an announcement. Representative Ramirez would like to be excused for the rest of the day."

"The record will reflect that excused absence."

"And is there an Amendment, Mr. Clerk?"

"Thank you. House Bill 1855, as amended, is an initiative of the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition, which is made up of the University of Illinois, Western Illinois 10200024.docx 125  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 University, Illinois State University, Eastern, SIU, Governors State, and Northern University. The Bill is a way to increase growth and business R&D activities and university industry innovative partnerships. It provides for a voucher that could equal up to 75 percent of the costs of research projects but would not exceed $75 thousand. I know of no opposition."

"Chair recognizes Representative Welter."

"The record will reflect that. Do you rise in opposition, Representative Andrade?"

"Point of personal privilege."

"Representative Manley (sic-Gabel) asks for the adoption of Floor Amendment #2 to House Bill 347. All in favor signify by saying 'aye'; all opposed 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Third Reading. Please read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"Representative Welter, for what reason do you seek recognition?"

"The record shall so reflect. Representative Gabel on House Bill 347."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, this Bill does two things. One thing it does is it requires that all immunizations are entered into an Illinois immunization data registry called I- CARE. Right now, only children's immunizations are. This will help provide and be able to track immunizations across the state. The intent is to allow people to opt out. If they do not want their information in the registry, they don’t have to have it. And then the second part of the Bill increases the vaccine for children's reimbursement to pediatricians to 10200024.docx 127  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 70 percent of the Medicare rate. Right now, they are only paid $6.40. And the average amount that physicians are paid for these vaccines is 30 to 60 dollars. This will increase it to $16."

"Representative Hammond."

"Indicates she'll yield."

"The records are only for the Department of Health. They are not disseminated anywhere with actual identifying data. They're used in the aggregate to be able to check immunization rates across the state to identify areas that are low immunizations and to target services for those areas. As I said, initially it was going to be mandated, but we are going to make sure that it's an opt out, that people do not have to put their information in if they don’t want to. I think that was the concern from all of those people who wrote and called me as well. And so, I told the pediatricians that we had to make sure that there was an opt out. People have the right to decide if they want their data in the data base or not."

"Oh, you know what? That's in current law, and I don’t have that with me. It's already in current law."

"I believe there is. I believe there's actually a form they can fill out right there."

"Correct."

"Thank you."

"Seeing no one seeking further… Representative Chesney."

"To the Bill."

"Leader Gabel to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill does not mandate anybody get a vaccine for anything. All it does is wants to help us be able to, in a public health mode, identify areas that may need some help. So, I really hope you can help the 10200024.docx 129  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 pediatricians.

"This is one hell of a Bill that you brought to this House. And I thank you so much for your work on this and working with such a great organization to do this.

"Representative Jones and then we will go to Mr… Representative Lewis to close. Representative Jones."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Representative Lewis mentioned, this Bill was done and it usually takes a Representative two years to do this kind of Bill of this magnitude. But I just want to bring into focus, this Bill is about saving the lives of children. And this Bill would not be possible if it wasn’t for Speaker Welch who green lighted this as long… as well as Leader Durkin. But also, since he's not here today, I want to point out Representative Evans. Many of you know Representative Evans' story. And Representative Evans brought this to not only my attention, but also brought it to the attention of Seth Lewis because his battle with cancer. And Representative… Representative Evans not only championed and 10200024.docx 132  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 worked with Representative Lewis, he's not here today, but I think he deserves a mention. His name is spaced out on the board. It's not on the board, but he is listed on our brief analysis. But I just wanted to mention him because he not only championed this, but he knows that this Bill is going to help save the lives of children.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Members. House Bill 275 is an initiative of the Chicago Teacher Pension Fund. It simply clarifies how the fund is to handle overpayments and underpayments made in error. There's no codified mechanism in statute for how to handle such payments. So, the Teacher Pension Fund would like to borrow some of the statutory language from other funds that already exist and apply it to their fund as well. I urge an 'aye' vote. Thank you."

"Dear Members, it's such a pleasure to be here with each of you today. Representative Andrade, Representative Avelar, Batinick, Bennett, Bos… no, I won't drag this out any further than it needs to. Representative Batinick, I appreciate your point. I would simply respond that the provisions, as I say, in this statute are already in place and a number of other pension funds. We simply want the Chicago Teacher Pension Fund to have uniformity in how it handles these overpayments and underpayments. Right now, this is handled on a case-by-case basis, member to member. The fund doesn't believe that that's an adequate way to handle such a… such issues. And because of the inconsistencies that's 10200024.docx 136  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 been applied on those cases up to this point, they want to have clarification in law, they want to harmonize this with existing state statute.

Unless there is a personal family emergency, I urge the rest of the Body that is here to please stay until the end of the day.

It also clarifies that the public adjuster includes a person who acts, aids, and represents a person in an insurance claim. And it clarifies that the public adjuster must provide the insurer or its authorized representative a notice of the loss or claimed damages. And lastly, it allows the public adjusters to provide emergency services before executing a written contract with the department and providing an exact copy to the insurer. This 10200024.docx 139  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 is to clarify language. This is also an initiative of Department of Insurance and the Chicago Public Adjusters. We went through extensive debate on this Bill, worked out an adjustment and an agreement on this Bill.

"Representative Slaughter."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 3958 requires the electronic recording of custodial interrogations that pertain to felony offenses, those crimes that carry longer sentences. As many of you know, our state continues to develop an embarrassing reputation for wrongful convictions, enforce plea deals. Every year, in our state, many people are jailed because of false confessions during custodial interrogations. It's important that we do as much as we can to promote fair interrogations for both suspects as well as law enforcement. As well as law enforcement. This is also a matter of being fiscally responsible. Many of us know that wrongful convictions have cost our taxpayers a great deal, whether that's settling wrongful conviction cases or incarcerating innocent people. What the Bill does is eliminate disputes about interrogations, thereby significantly improving the prosecution of the guilty, while affording protection to the innocent. The Bill puts us in line with 20 other states around the country. And law enforcement agencies that use electronic recording have proven its value. Of course, I'm open to any 10200024.docx 144  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 recommendations that may arise in the Senate on this critical matter. Listen, it's going to be a razor-thin vote here. We're going to put this on the board. The message here is that we're protecting suspects, protecting law enforcement, protecting taxpayers. I urge a 'yes' vote."

"On House Bill 3958, Leader Durkin."

"He indicates he'll yield."

"Currently, Leader, we do require electronic recordings for a set of felonies. Honestly, what this Bill is doing is expanding it to all felonies. Of course, we stop short of comprehensively including misdemeanors. That's not in the Bill. But this is just for felonies."

"Okay. Leader, what's the… what's the question? I'm sorry."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"No. The law enforcement did not testify in committee about anything in regards to what you're saying. They already, obviously, have these devices and resources to conduct recordings."

"Okay, Leader. What's the question?"

"I would think that they would want to manage this. A wrongful conviction is going to cost them a lot more to not manage it, to not address it."

"I'm sorry, Leader. Could you repeat the question?"

"Leader, this would also protect law enforcement. In regards to everything that you're saying and those concerns, we're protecting law enforcement in regards to…"

"Sure."

"Custodial. Yeah, custodial… yeah, Leader."

"Yes."

"That's correct, Leader. And I'm open to, again, if that Amendment needs to arise, if we are graciously able to get this Bill out of the Senate, I'm open to that, that Amendment."

"Leader, it sounds like you like the spirit of this, the objectives of this, and you're maybe articulating or highlighting some carve outs. That's what it sounds like to me."

"Leader, I respect your perspective and definitely willing to keep working with you when the Bill gets over to the Senate."

"Thank you, Leader. The Bill has been moved to Standard Debate. The Sponsor has spoken in favor. We will 10200024.docx 150  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 have two individuals who will also speak in favor and then we will go to a roll call if there is no one else speaking in opposition. Representative Tarver."

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

"Indicates he'll yield."

"Chairman Slaughter, I just want to make sure I understand. So, this is requiring video when there's a felon… essentially interrogation about a felony. Is that right?"

"Yes. Electronic recordings. So, that's correct, Representative."

"Electronic? Okay. And so, I just want to make sure I understand this. There was a lot of talk about a property crime. To the best of your knowledge, can you have your freedom taken for a property crime?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Okay. What's the cost of freedom?"

"There is no cost, Representative. You know that."

"Yeah, I know. We been trying to figure out for 400-plus years. But, okay. So… but we want to talk about actual costs. Let's do that. We bring up Chicago. Would it surprise you to know that Chicago has spent approximately a half billion dollars over the last 20 or so years with excessive force cases and things like that?"

"A half a billion, Representative."

"Do you think that for less than, I don’t know, a half a billion dollars we can get some people recorded and find out if these are actual valid statements that are being provided?"

"I think we can, Representative." 10200024.docx 151  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"Okay. I'm glad. Do you think for less than $132 million we can do that? That's Jon Burge. That's Jon Burge, $132 million."

"I think that we can, Representative."

"Do you think we can do it for less than that?"

"I know that we can. Thank you, Representative. And this is, Ladies and Gentlemen, a fiscally responsible measure that we're bringing forward as well, underscoring Representative Tarver as well…"

"I don’t want to talk about fiscal responsibility. I don’t even want to talk about fiscal responsibility at this point. Because we have the money when people… oh actually, let's take a step back. And then we have the fact that we have to pay these families, right? Okay. But beyond all that, because we want to talk about Chicago and Cook County. Would it surprise you to know that in 2017 there was a study, a national study, about exonerations? Twenty-one hundred cases. Did you know that 193 came from Chicago? Did you know that, Chairman Slaughter? Would that surprise you?"

"Not at all."

"Would it surprise you that nationally 28 percent of the cases that were studied came from Chicago? One in four in Cook County? Would that shock you?"

"No."

"Okay. So, when we talk about property crimes, when we talk about costs and things along those lines, I just want to bring it to a close and understand. Again, if you can help remind me, what is the cost associated with wrongfully taking someone's freedom?" 10200024.docx 152  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021

"All right. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And just to the previous speaker. Thank you, Representative, for those concerns and certainly committed to working on those good faith exemptions that perhaps we need to get in the Bill. As we continue to look at our criminal justice system, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's important that we address wrongful convictions, forced plea deals, and false confessions.

This Bill is an initiative of the Illinois Black Caucus to look at what cannabis revenue goes as it flows into local law enforcement and to correct the error of the Body by not really providing any guidance on where that money goes. My understanding is that the Bill essentially says 'law enforcement purposes', and there really hasn’t been much guidance as to what that means. And so, what we did was, as a Black Caucus, is look at how to guide those funds. So, the eight percent would be divided up, with two 10200024.docx 155  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 percent discretionary, two percent for high-risk traffic stops and de-escalation training, two percent would be for… I just had this in front of me. One percent would be for expunging juvenile records. One percent for the… it's been there an hour and can't remember. One percent for juvenile expungements. One percent for pretrial services. And I'm sure I'm missing something that my good friend Welter will point out to me. Oh, I'm sorry. The most obvious thing, body cameras. Two percent towards body cameras. So, again, this is an initiative of the caucus. We've heard a lot of rumors about the fact that we have these unfunded mandates. Here's a pot of money that can go and support some of these efforts that we passed in House Bill 3653, which is now a Public Act. I look forward to a spirited debate."

"This Bill being on Short Debate, Representative Welter, are you in support or opposition?"

"Please proceed."

"He indicates he'll yield."

"I can tell you the history, but that doesn’t make the argument of coming to eight percent very valid. So, I do believe that law enforcement wanted a 24 percent premium for opposing the Cannabis Revenue Tax Act, and then settled upon the 8 percent premium for, again, opposing a Bill but extracting funds from it once it passed. That’s my estimation.

"To the Bill."

"Representative, if you could bring your remarks to a close. I know…"

"Representative Tarver to close."

"So, I appreciate that. And I just want to be clear. When we look at how the funds are divided up, it's two percent that's discretionary. So, certainly if a county determine that… to the Representative's point, that something specific was more important than what it prioritized it, they could do that. I want to talk about, just very briefly, we're talking about DUIs and things like that. I mean, there's nothing more dangerous for a black man in society right now than a traffic stop. And so, I think it's very, very important that, when we talk about these funds and providing training, it's for those exact situations. For those exact situations. You know, I'm happy to work with the Representative. And I'm glad… I don’t know if he's put it on record, but it sounds like we're going 10200024.docx 159  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 24th Legislative Day 4/23/2021 to work together to find a funding for some of these things that are very, very important that we passed in the criminal justice pillar. But, again, I just want to make it abundantly clear that this is not taking any money away from local government. It's not taking any money away from law enforcement. What it is doing is helping to provide parameters and guidelines on how those funds will be spent. And I think that’s particularly important right now. And so, I would urge an 'aye' vote, and we'll see where we go from there."

"I am not necessarily in opposition, but I need a clarification."

"Okay. Please proceed."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Windhorst, so the changing the definition of… the changing of the definition to a local road, is that for any and everything across the state that this definition now applies? So, in my community that… what I would consider a local road in that community, is that now considered a state road?"

"Fair enough. Thank you."
