We pray your blessings upon this august Assembly, the Speaker of this illustrious House, all of its esteemed Leaders, all of its honored Members, and all of its staff. We pray that you would grant them, in the midst of such a great divide and separation, that you would grant them a spirit of inclusiveness and a spirit of unity.

And that finding you, that they may love you. And that by loving you, they may follow you. And that by following you, they may be just like you. This we humbly pray, Amen."

Theresa Mah (D)

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. HB4941 is the initiative of one of my constituents who operates a practice providing speech therapy services. Last year, she and other colleagues in her profession received almost no notice when their insurance reimbursement rate was threatened to be reduced by a significant amount by their contracted insurance provider. They were able to organize and push back on something that would've been devastating to their business and harmful to their patients, who have experienced interruption in access to their health care providers and therapeutic treatments. What they have proposed is legislation that requires 90 days prior notice before any rate reduction, no waivers of the right to receive notice, and no retroactive rate reductions. House Floor Amendment 1 was negotiated with the Insurance Council and brings them to neutral. I know of no other opposition, and I request an 'aye' vote."

Greg Harris (D)

"Representative Morgan, are you in opposition?"

Bob Morgan (D)

"Opposition."

Greg Harris (D)

"Please state your point."

Bob Morgan (D)

"Despite being a chief cosponsor in opposition… just for legislative intent, Representative, if you could just confirm. With respect to the insurer obligations to notify the impacted provider of any nonroutine change via email, it is the responsibility of the individual to make sure that the 10200080.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 insurer has an updated email address… rather is the responsibility of the provider or health care professional to make sure the insurer has the updated email correct, not the insurer?"

"House Bill 4988, as amended, is an initiative of the Alliance to Prevent Legionnaires' Disease. And would require private and governmental water distribution entities to alert their health care facility customers if there is a planned or unplanned disruption in their water supplies. Disruptions in water supplies often result in the releasing of large quantities of harmful bacteria into the water and disturbing the normal innocuous biofilm found on the inside of the pipes. Health care facilities are emphasized since they are… they serve the most vulnerable among us, the elderly and the infirmed. These facilities also have water management plans in place to address their disruptions and safeguard their patients. Most of them do. We worked with the Illinois Hospital Association, the Illinois Health Care Association, the American Water Works Association, so forth and so on, Illinois IEPA and IDPH.

Avery Bourne (R)

"I certainly understand the intention of the Sponsor. For any of us who've done Principle for a Day, or been in the schools, one of the top concerns that comes up is paperwork requirements. My only concern with this is that, if you're going to change a lot of the processes of a state agency, it concerns me that they are still in opposition to this Bill. So, I would hope that they would offer up some language in the Senate to make this better. And if it comes back agreed, I look forward to supporting it then, but for now I'll have to urge a 'no' vote."

"Thank you. I'm proud to bring this Bill to the House. It is about criminal sexual assault. It amends the Criminal Code of 2012 regarding the definition of consent. This was brought to me by a… an intern in my… in my office, a young woman who was the victim and now survivor of assault, who was frustrated with how this had to be handled in the legal system. And uncovered through… partly through her own research, shortcomings, and the legal code related to it. So, let's get to the point here. The current definition in the law is, 'unable to give knowing consent' includes when a victim has taken an intoxicating substance or any controlled substance causing the victim to become unconscious of the nature of the act, and this condition was known or reasonably should've known… been known by the accused, but the accused did not provide or administer the intoxicating substance. You know, that's… that's the Amendment. The current… the current law is if the accused provided the intoxicating substance that rendered the victim unconscious, then… then that is in… that is a crime. The Amendment expands that to include if the person is being attacked took the substance herself or himself depending. This… the reason this is so important is that it removes one of the many vestiges in our law where, somehow, we make the victim of sexual assault, by their own action, somehow share in the guilt of that assault, which to me is absurd. And this has bipartisan support. It came out unanimously. I ask for your support."

And they're licensed in their home countries, but they find themselves in Illinois, whether as immigrants or refugees.

The Bill expands human trafficking protections by including trafficking in our rape shield provisions. The Bill expands the definition of unauthorized recording to include any residence, not just the victim's residence. It expands the definition of grooming and extends the statute of 10200080.docx 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 limitations. The Bill replaces all references to child pornography in our statutes to child sexual abuse material. The Bill expands the use of support dogs beyond just for children. The Bill further defines family members for the purposes of sex crimes. The Bill further defines the inability to give knowing consent. And then finally, the Bill classifies a child being coerced into filming a sexual act as a Class 4 felony. This in an initiative of the sexual assault and domestic violence prosecutors in Cook County. And it has the support of the Children's Advocacy Center, the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, and the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police.

If you are in a mulita- unit building, be able to track what unit you're in. It is Kari's Law and RAY BAUM'S Act, is just been updating those federal standards.

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I want to thank our Leader Andrade for all the work that he's been doing on this issue, our catalytic converter problem that we have in the state. There's a lot of Bills that have been out here. And Leader Andrade's been doing a great job, and did a great job, to get us here. One of the Bills that was a part of this Bill that we have before us today is also Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul passed a Bill earlier, and it's on Third, but that Bill is a part of this Bill. I had a Bill that was a part of… that is a part of this Bill as well. So, this is an agreement of most of the Bills that were filed. The problem is, catalytic converter theft in Illinois is a serious problem. Not just in Chicago, but throughout the state, and it's a problem in the country. And I said, several Bills addressing this problem have been proposed. This Bill addresses that problem by offering solutions. It requires recyclable metal dealers to add 10200080.docx 58 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 catalytic converter purchasing to the existing recordkeeping requirements. Basically, someone attempting to sell a catalytic converter to a recyclable metal dealer, that dealer must make a copy of the seller's license that's issued by the Secretary of State. It also prohibits dealers from paying cash for catalytic converters. We hope that this Bill is a solution and deters the theft of catalytic converters here in Illinois. I move for the passage of House Bill 107."

Mark L. Walker (D)

"House Bill 448 is an attempt to deal with what is low- hanging fruit on controlling the increase in property taxes across the State of Illinois and, hopefully, causing some reduction working in concert with the local taxing bodies. To keep in mind, the local taxing bodies set the tax levies, the state does not. But the state can play a partnership with that in setting the playing field, deciding when voters get to go to referendum, various other things. PTELL is the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law that determines when we require a taxing district to in fact go to referendum due to an increase. It is a benign law on its surface, but what we've discovered in looking at this over the years is that it has an unintended consequence. Many taxing districts take the max allowed by PTELL so that in future years they can use that as a base to recalculate what their maximum levy could be. It's like what happens in the corporate world or the military, 10200080.docx 60 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 where if you don't take it this year, you won't get to use it as your base for next year. So, this is a very complex law, but that's the gist of it. I'm trying to remove the incentive to always take the max to protect future increases. So, how do we do that? The proposal in… this is a universally liked proposal, is that if you do not take the max levy allowed by PTELL in any given period, in future years you can calculate the formula as if you did. That is the concept. The specifics are, this will occur… you can look back three years in order to determine the areas where, if you had taken the max, you can use that as a base to calculate the future. We have focused this on where more than 85 percent of the taxes are in the state, and that is on school districts, park districts, library districts, and community college districts to affect the most property taxes that affects individuals. We have done another thing. We thought about, okay, we're trying to solve an unintended consequence. Did we just cause more unintended consequences? Well, one unintended consequence we have in the Bill that we're going to avoid, we don't want to send substantial flexibility in terms of our tax dollars through school funding to school districts that are suffering bad fiscal health and have them turn around and not tax. So, if they are in the watch list or close to watch list in the school funding formula, then they don't get to take this flexibility because we expect their increase school funding from the state to go to education, not to affect their tax calculation. But the bulk of school districts do get this flexibility. The other thing we did is we want to avoid the unintended consequence of sticker shock. Because this has 10200080.docx 61 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 been going on for years, in a given year a school all of a sudden increases the taxes on the taxpayer by a dramatic amount, so we put a limitation in here. In a year where you're recapturing the tax rate of previous years, you can only cause your tax levy to go up a max five percent. And then if you need to… another year to recapture the rest, you can take up to another five percent the following year, and then on. So, you always get to go back to the rate that you would've had. But the thing to recall about this is, this is about lowering taxes. The taxpayer that pays lower taxes because the local bodies choose to lower their taxes, that savings is always there. What this is about is changing the future rates. It does not recapture or claw back any of the taxes not previously paid. So, that's the proposal. I think it's a good start. I do think it's low-hanging fruit, and I hope that you support this."

Mark Batinick (R)

"Representative, I… and this concept has floated around this building for a long time and it's… this is actually one of the more substantive Bills we're going to debate today. So, I want to make sure we're clear what we're doing. Basically, what happens at the local level is taxing bodies say, tax to the max because you can't get it back, right? And you're trying to allow a school district… is this just school district or is it park districts and other things? Is it just… which… which bodies does it affect?" 10200080.docx 62 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022

Mark L. Walker (D)

"It's school districts, community colleges, park districts, and libraries."

Mark Batinick (R)

"Okay. So, you're allowing them to say, hey, you know what? We think we can get by, by not taxing to the max. But allows them to go back and recapture should they had made bad projection. So, the administrators that are trying to gather as much money are always taking the maximum tax amount, is what I see in my world. And you're trying to allow them some flexibility to try and not take the tax to the max and recapture it, correct?"

Mark L. Walker (D)

"That's correct."

Mark Batinick (R)

"And you're looking at a three-year lookback. Originally it was a five-year lookback?"

Mark L. Walker (D)

"That's correct."

Mark Batinick (R)

"And you lowered it to a three-year lookback. To the Bill. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, you can explain this Bill as a tax cut or a tax increase. I suggest you learn what the Representative is trying to pass today. It is very substantive. It is very thoughtful. I supposed… I expect there's going be some red and green on this. But understand what he's trying to do. He's trying to allow a lookback on taxes to give those bodies the flexibility to maybe not tax to the max, like is kind of commonplace that everybody does. Thank you for answering my questions."

Greg Harris (D)

"Representative Walker to close."

Mark L. Walker (D)

"This is a first step, but it is a substantial step. And I think the more you look into this Bill and talk it over with your local taxing bodies, the more they're going to like 10200080.docx 63 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 it.

Greg Harris (D)

"Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 5142 is an initiative of the American Heart Association and other groups that would put a check box on your state income taxes. And if you check that box, it would automatically determine whether or not you are eligible to participate in the Medicaid program or in the insurance marketplace with a discount so that more people know they have options to obtain insurance for their families. I'd appreciate an 'aye' vote. Know of no opposition."

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Leader Flowers."

Jay Hoffman (D)

"The Leader will yield."

"Leader Harris, this is not a mandate. Is it… is there going to be any place on the application that they do not have to check off?"

Greg Harris (D)

"No, it's not a mandate." 10200080.docx 73 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Is… will there be any place on the application that they do not have to check off? Their personal information."

Greg Harris (D)

"Oh, no. You're… nobody puts any personal information other than what's on your form."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"So, you're asking them to check the box for what?"

Greg Harris (D)

"If they would like to have the Department of Revenue determine if they're eligible for subsidies on their insurance or for Medicaid. If they check the box, they will find out and they can obtain that insurance."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"And so, by checking that box, all of this information will be going to other departments around the state or within the state?"

Greg Harris (D)

"No. The person… they would send information to the person. They don't get your tax information or that kind of thing."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"No. I'm just trying to be clear. I'm trying to be clear that if one of my constituents decide that they do want Medicaid, and they check the box, will this information go to Medicaid, and where else will this information go?"

Greg Harris (D)

"Your tax information only stays with the Department of Revenue."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"It just stays with the Department of Revenue?"

Greg Harris (D)

"That's who collects the taxes."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"So, how will HFS know that I want Medicaid?"

Greg Harris (D)

"They would get a notification… send application from Medicaid or subsidized insurance to Ms. Flowers."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"This says, 'require the director of the Department of Revenue to, as soon as possible, as the state health benefit exchange is operational, make individual income tax 10200080.docx 74 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 information available to the State health benefit exchange.' And it goes on, 'if the disclosure is authorized by the taxpayer, the individual income tax return that contains that information.' So, my point to you is, the Department of Revenue will be disseminating this information if I check it off."

Greg Harris (D)

"The information they would need to notify you about your eligibility, yes."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"And so, in regards to Medicaid and in regards to other types of insurance. Am I correct?"

Greg Harris (D)

"The idea is to make it as easy as possible for people to find out if they are eligible for coverage and can receive a subsidy so that all the people who are uninsured have opportunities to sign up."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Is… is insurance still a mandate?"

Greg Harris (D)

"I… in what way?"

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Well, no, because at one time you had to have insurance or either pay a hundred dollar fine."

Greg Harris (D)

"That was a Federal Law. That…"

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"And so, my question to you, because you have this information here… because I know people have gone to the office of public aid to try to get some type of assistance, and they have not been successful. And so, I'm wondering, even with the Department of Insurance, they do want insurance, but unfortunately, they cannot afford the copays and the deductibles. And once they do get the insurance, they just have insurance to protect them. And so, I'm asking you, is insurance still a mandate in this country and, more specifically, in the State of Illinois?" 10200080.docx 75 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022

Greg Harris (D)

"I believe that the Federal Law, the insurance mandate was struck down."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"It was struck down?"

Greg Harris (D)

"By the Supreme Court."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"And so, yes. I thought so, but I was just double checking with you. And… and so, why is this Bill necessary? Because people go to apply all the time. And I think, with this information being out there, you're giving people the impression that this is required. And the very people, again, who go to the hospital where there should be someone there to fill out his information to qualify them for Medicaid or whatever type of insurance they may be qualified for or health care. But that has not been done. And so, once again, I'm asking, why is this important? And what I'm afraid of, Representative, is I'm sure… I don't know if your information was exposed, but I got three unemployment cards that I never applied for. And so, people are very concerned about how their information is going to be protected. And so, I just want to know…"

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Leader, is that a question? Could we… could you go to the Bill or…"

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Well, yes, it is a question. I want to know how the information is going to be protected because, obviously, with the unemployment experience that we had this year, the people that wanted unemployment couldn't get it. Those of us who didn't apply for it, we got it. I want to know. Yes, I do. I want an answer."

Greg Harris (D)

"The different departments of the state go through IT security, and we've had a number of Bills on this already 10200080.docx 76 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 this morning to make our security as strong as possible, Representative."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Excuse me, one more question, Representative Harris. Is this one-stop shopping for people?"

Greg Harris (D)

"It's another avenue for people to come in and find out if they're eligible for either Medicaid or subsidized insurance through the ACA."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Come in where, Representative? To the Department of Revenue?"

Greg Harris (D)

"They put… there's a check box on your tax form. If you're interested, you check it. If you don't check it, then it goes no further."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Let me go back to my question to you. Is this one-stop shopping? Is this a place where people can come to you, to your office and fill out a form, and then this form would share that they need housing, they need access to health care, they need mental health treatment? Is this a one-stop shopping for people to get the services in which the State of Illinois is supposed to be providing?"

Greg Harris (D)

"This deals with health insurance."

Mary E. Flowers (D)

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker."

Jay Hoffman (D)

"We are on Short Debate, however, there has been request for Standard Debate, which would mean three on each side. Leader Demmer."

Tom Demmer (R)

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

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Indicates he'll yield. The timer is set at three minutes."

Tom Demmer (R)

"Thank you. Leader Harris, just to be clear on this. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services will provide a 10200080.docx 77 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 letter to the Department of Revenue, a form letter, a standardized letter. And then the Department of Revenue will send that letter to people who have checked a box on their tax form and also meet certain income eligibility levels, or will they send it to everybody who checks that box?"

Greg Harris (D)

"They will send it to those who are eligible and who qualify for a particular program."

Tom Demmer (R)

"Okay. Does the Department of Revenue share any information back with the Department of Healthcare and Family Services?"

Greg Harris (D)

"Not that I'm aware of."

Tom Demmer (R)

"Okay. Thank you very much."

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Representative Reick."

Steven Reick (R)

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

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Indicates he'll yield."

Steven Reick (R)

"Representative, as one who prepares tax returns, there's a lot of them for people in the State of Illinois. Are there due diligence requirements on the part of tax preparers to indicate whether or not this person may be eligible or not as far as what our responsibility is when we sign the bottom of a tax return as a preparer?"

Greg Harris (D)

"Not that I'm aware of."

Steven Reick (R)

"Okay. And just to be plain, again, this only deals with notifying the department that there is someone who claim… or feels they may be eligible and no… and the Department of Revenue is under no obligation or compulsion to share that information at the time that that request is made?" 10200080.docx 78 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022

Greg Harris (D)

"The… different departments, HFS or the Department of Insurance, would simply send a letter to those folks, which they would need to complete, as they typically would."

Steven Reick (R)

"Very good. So, there's no… there's no trigger there. Okay. I appreciate it. Thank you very much."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 4230 was an issue that came up in one of my local school districts. A gentleman wanted to come and drive a school bus, but he had lost his license due to unpaid child support. And you recall, we've passed a number of Bills here to not penalize people for years to come for something that they made a mistake for in the past. This gentleman has since fully paid up his… his child support, but the law currently says that if you have… you have to have had your driver's license for the three years prior to be able to drive a bus. My original Bill wanted to say anything that's not a moving violation. But the Secretary of State wasn't comfortable with it so they specifically talked about unpaid child support. In committee, for those of you that were in committee, I did make one misstatement. My 10200080.docx 81 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 understanding was that you had to be paid in full to get your license back. But the Secretary of State recently, actually just 10 minutes ago, I heard that you either have to have your child support fully paid or be on a payment program. Right? So, this payment program allows them to pay the back child support and continue to work towards continuing to pay that child support. I… I would be happy to take any questions. I think that this is a Bill that allows somebody to get back on track, and I hope that I can count on your support."

And while dealing with the grieving process, she happened to lose her job as well because she could not keep up. And so, she came to me with this Bill, and it pretty much says that when you deal… when a parent has to deal with a death of a child from suicide or homicide, that 10200080.docx 83 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 they are able to use this Child Extended Bereavement Act of either 26 weeks… I'm sorry… 12 weeks if you are 250 or more… of an employer of 250 or more, 6 weeks, an employer of 250 or less. I want to thank Laura for bringing this to my attention. And I truly appreciate your friendship. And so, I ask that you… for an 'aye' vote. I worked with the Chamber of… Illinois Chamber of Commerce to get them to no position, the Department of Labor to get them to no position. I've also spoke to colleagues of mine with a commitment that we will have a more… even more robust Child Extended Bereavement Leave Act or even something similar to that that will help parents who lose a child for a variety of reasons.

Justin Slaughter (D)

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 4500 is an initiative of the Secretary of State's Office regarding its Department of Business Services. This is a very important department. Its critical duties include incorporating corporations and organizing limited liability companies and partnerships and being the filing office for annual and other reports that need to be filed to keep businesses in good standing in our state. House Bill 4500 amends the Business Organization Act to make consistent and to clarify certain provisions with the intent of streamlining and facilitating business transaction operations within the department. These changes are technical in nature. We did discuss in committee a provision regarding interrogatories. House Bill 4500 harmonizes the interrogatory language throughout our Business Organization Act and makes it consistent with existing language in the Business Corporation Act, the Not For Profit Act of 1986, and the LLC Act of 1994. The Floor Amendment reduces the amount of time a registered business agent can serve and operate after dissolution from five years to three years. Again, this is at the request of a couple committee Members on the other side of the aisle. I don’t believe the Bill ever actually had opposition, but there was discussion.

Steven Reick (R)

"Technically, yes, but probably no. How's that?"

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Well, that's not covered in the rules, but you're permitted to technically be 'yes' or 'no'. So, please proceed."

Steven Reick (R)

"At this… okay. Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Indicates he will."

Steven Reick (R)

"Rep Slaughter, we've had this conversation, but I'd really like to get just this on the record please, especially on the issue of interrogatories."

Justin Slaughter (D)

"Sure."

Steven Reick (R)

"I understand that what you're trying to do is conform all the different business entities here so that their interrogatories are similar throughout the entire… the entire Code."

Justin Slaughter (D)

"That's correct."

Steven Reick (R)

"My question is, are there limitation on the… on what those interrogatories can be used for? For instance, can they be used as evidence in some other action on behalf of or against the corporation or its agents or whoever in another type of action?"

Justin Slaughter (D)

"No, they can't. These interrogatories have always been very narrowly and specifically targeted, and they will continue to be after… if this Bill passes."

Steven Reick (R)

"Okay."

Justin Slaughter (D)

"Then the answer's no."

Steven Reick (R)

"Okay. The concern I had, and I continue to have until there's some sort of clarifying languages, is the… I would 10200080.docx 89 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 really like to see some limiting language within the Act itself as to what those… what the scope of those interrogatories are and the extent to which they can be used in subsequence things like that. That's my concern. It's the not the fact that I'm against it, it's just the fact that I'd really like to see some limiting language in there."

Justin Slaughter (D)

"As the Sponsor, I'm certainly willing to get that provision in there in the Senate if you… if you want. But again, this is harmonizing all the interrogatory language that's already existing in a lot of our other business registration related Acts. And, yeah, if we want to work on that one line or that provision that puts that in statute, let's do that over in the Senate."

Steven Reick (R)

"Yeah, I… I would really like to. And, again, can you explain the need for a registered agent to be on the hook for… not on the hook, but the three-year look back for somebody who is a registered agent on a… on a…"

Justin Slaughter (D)

"Sure. We… I mean, we had it at five years. We reduced it to three with the Amendment. There is a winding-up period in that, after dissolution, when you're closing out business with clients, we're giving you that time to… to do that. So, you are dissolved, but you do have… well, with the Amendment, three years to close out all of your… your business matters."

Steven Reick (R)

"So, to the extent that you're still within that three- year window, the registered agent of that entity is still subject to service is what you're saying?"

Justin Slaughter (D)

"That's correct."

Steven Reick (R)

"Okay. Thank you… thank you for the answers. Appreciate it. Thank you." 10200080.docx 90 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022

Jay Hoffman (D)

"Representative Mazzochi, this is on Short Debate. However, three minutes."

Deanne M. Mazzochi (R)

"Thank you. Actually, the Sponsor just confirmed what was my critical question, which is that you are going to continue to force somebody to be an agent for service of process, even though they are no longer retained by the corporation. They're not getting paid their fees to be a registered agent. So, you're going to force them to accept all the liability and the work of being an agent for service of process for three years, even though they're no longer retained as an… by the corporation to be… to be an agent of service, correct?"

Justin Slaughter (D)

"Yes, Representative. This is your Amendment, that's correct."

Deanne M. Mazzochi (R)

"Yeah, it's…"

Justin Slaughter (D)

"This is your recommendation. I'm taking it in with the Amendment. We…"

Deanne M. Mazzochi (R)

"No. My recommendation was that I don't think you can force somebody to work without getting paid. And what you're doing is you're saying that somebody who… usually when you agree to be a service… a registered agent for a corporation, you get paid a particular fee to be a registered agent for a period, usually of one year. And you file the fee every year and then… and then the corporation decides if they want to keep you or do they not. What you're now doing here is, you're saying that as long as you've signed up for once to be a registered agent, if the company decides they're not going to replace you, they can basically make you work for free to be the registered agent service of process. My recommendation to 10200080.docx 91 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 you was to say you can't force somebody to serve as an agent for a corporation who doesn't want to be agent. You can't force them to do the work that a registered agent is supposed to do, which is accept service of process, when they don't get paid to do that and they may not even want to do that. So, that's the reason why I am still opposed to this Bill. That's less than my three minutes, Mr. Speaker. Thanks."

It simply allows districts to include safe storage curriculum in their school safety curriculum.

So, this… Amendment #5 is a gut and replace, and I'm asking for everyone's support of this again. Thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon, Members. The indictment of former Speaker Mike Madigan this week by federal prosecutors on 22 counts, including bribery and racketeering, is yet another stain on this Body and politics in Illinois. Almost every important Democrat holding public office in Illinois right now is there because Mike Madigan put them there, and that includes many of us here… or you here in the General Assembly and Governor JB Pritzker. Madigan raised the money for your campaigns through the schemes he is now under indictment for. Madigan did all the heavy lifting and made all the decisions. He ran the campaigns and Democrats fell in the line. That money allowed you to fund campaigns that lied about your opponent or their policies, or both. You know, I know that any Member that crossed him or didn't vote for him or his agenda was denied the funds to run your campaign or presented with a well-funded primary opponent. When pressed with the opportunity to stand up for what's right, to pursue real ethics reform, and to denounce the corruption we've seen over the past several years, you all remained silent. You all enabled the corruption that has driven this state into the abysmal condition we find ourselves in. Today, Illinois 10200080.docx 110 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 stands as a bad example of what crony policy and shady backroom deals can do to a once-thriving state. We are at the bottom of every major indicator for prosperity, debt, job growth, taxes, population loss. We are one of the worse states in the nation for providing services to persons with developmental disabilities, and we've abandoned our friends in law enforcement. While Mike Madigan will be prosecuted for corruption, he should also be prosecuted for the destruction his reign has left on our state. This indictment of Mike Madigan is an indictment of the entirety of the Democratic Party, a party he was allowed to control for over 30 years. I know the people of Illinois are watching this, and I hope they will remember who's been responsible for the corruption and abuse of power that has been uncovered by federal prosecutor. Not our Legislative Inspector General, not the Special Investigations Committee, and not our attorneys general. It's past time for real reform in Illinois politics. Thank you."

"Thank you. For today's Women's History Month celebration, we honor the work and legacy of Elizabeth Chambers Morgan. Elizabeth Chambers Morgan was one of the most influential activist and social reformers in the Chicago labor movement in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into a working- class family of 10 children, Chambers Morgan received little formal education. She began working 10 to 16 hour days at a mill when she was only 11 years old. She moved to Chicago 10200080.docx 111 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 when she was 19. Chambers Morgan established the Illinois Women's Alliance and played a pivotal role in organizing the Ladies' Federal Labor Union. She was an integral figure in the fight for an eight-hour work day and for higher wages for women in factories. As a staunch advocate for labor issues, she also investigated and exposed the inhumane and unsafe working condition of Chicago's sweatshops. Elizabeth Chambers Morgan's passion and organizing skills improved the lives of working-class Chicagoans, particularly women and children. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In light of the recent indictment of the former House Speaker, I think it's past time that we get serious about real ethics reforms. Got a list of five things that will lead to more faith from the constituents and the citizens of the State of Illinois. First, we need to address conflicts of interest. You may notice that I'll often stand up and state, due to a possible conflict of interest, I will be voting 'present'. I know there are a number of people on this floor that may need to do that as well. Many people vote on issues that may benefit themselves or their spouse. And judicial maps could be also carved out for an individual's family. Two, we have to establish parity between what's expected from the State Employees Ethics Act and the General Assembly Ethics Act. We shouldn't have one standard for state employees and one standard for this Body. Three, we need to expand, expand the jurisdiction of the Legislative Inspector General to investigate outside of our 10200080.docx 112 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 80th Legislative Day 3/4/2022 official duties to ensure that there is not a legal conflict of interest between your personal life, your personal private business, and what you're doing here on this floor. Number four, we need to make sure that the Legislative Inspector General and the Legislative Ethics Committee have the authority and oversight over the same types of issues. Five, the Legislative Ethics Commission is an equal bipartisan commission. Four Republicans and four Democrats. That Body should have to have a supermajority to block an investigation. Not a simple majority of one party of the other, but a supermajority, ensuring that one party isn't protecting their own people. Mr. Speaker, it is past time that we do real ethics reform in this Body. Thank you."

"Representative Williams." Williams, A.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In March 2020, the name Dr. Ngozi Ezike became a household name and many of us got to see her work in the first very difficult months of the pandemic. I just wanted to thank her for her months and years of service in a time of unprecedented challenge for the State of Illinois and wish her the best as she moves on to a new position as President and CEO of the Sinai Chicago, Chicago's largest private safety net hospital. I may have gotten that title a little wrong, but just wanted to extend my sincerest congratulations and gratitude to Dr. Ngozi Ezike for her service to the State of Illinois. Thank you."
