"If you look up in the Speaker's box, you will see a group of special students and their chaperones that have come here all the way from Martino Filetico High School in Ferentino, Italy, which is a sister city of Rockford. They come to Rockford as part of the sister city program earlier this week in order to learn how we live, and they have come to Springfield to see how our government works. The sister city program pairs cities from across the world in order to learn each other's cultures, foods, and tradition. Rockford has been a sister city with Ferentino for almost 20 years. The relationships stem from the fact that many of the 10 thousand people of Italian descent in the Rockford area trace their roots back from Ferentino, including me, through my great- grandfather Gabriel. In those 20 years, kids have come back and forth between the two cities. And I am proud to host these kids today. And with your indulgence, I will say who they are. First, the president of the Rockford Italian Sister City Alliance, Dina Getty; Rockford's chaperone and treasurer of the alliance, Karen Cantele. And I'm going to try my best: Chiara Celani, Silvia Cecilia, Alexia Cerilli, Sophia Cerroni, Giuseppina Sisti, Giulia Zimbellari, Valentina 10300060.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day 11/7/2023 Borzacca, Sofia Cellitti, Beatrice Gargani, Christian DeCarolis.

"Thank you. A little over two weeks ago, I placed an op- ed on the desk of everyone in the chamber talking about opportunity deserts in our state and the three primary causes: high taxes and over regulation, crime, and lack of access to quality education for all. The end of the op-ed, I invited the Democrat side of the aisle to work with the Republican side of the aisle and let's fix these problems together. To date, I have not heard and assumed it was due to it being Veto Session, and we'll wait till Spring Session. Because what we have been doing is not working, and that's evidenced by the WalletHub study that's contained in that op-ed that shows Illinois is worst in the nation in economic racial equality. But there's one thing that we need to do before we leave Veto Session that we… that cannot wait, changing the sunset on the Invest in Kids Act. We still have time. We're about to go to our separate caucuses. You, as Democrats, are the Super Majority. You have control, as do your counterparts in the Senate. You get to determine whether or not we will pass some type of legislation that will remove this sunset. You already know you have Republican Members' full caucuses, both chambers willing to support legislation that removes the sunset. You control the House and the Senate. You determine what Bills get called. We have a Democrat Governor who said 10300060.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day 11/7/2023 he's ready to sign it if we do it. Let's get this done. The children in this program do not have the means to go to schools they are in. You see them. I think some of them might be in the gallery. You've seen them outside. They've been with us the past few weeks. Stacy Davis Gates, the president of the CTU, should not be the only one who gets to send her son to another school when they cannot receive a quality… when that child cannot receive a quality education in the school they're assigned to. Ladies and Gentlemen, all of you get to decide. Let's remove this sunset. It's solely about providing children with a quality education. It's about their future. It's about providing them with equal opportunity."

"Heading to the Calendar. Under the Order of Amendatory Vetoes on page 2, we have House Bill 2878, Leader Hoffman. Leader Hoffman is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I move that we accept the Governor's Amendatory Veto to House Bill 2878. This underlying Bill has to deal with the issue of procurement. There were 19 Bills that were contained in the underlying Bill, which was contained in Senate Floor Amendment #2. We ultimately concurred to that Amendment. They included issues such as House Bill 2878 concerning giving preference for former coal mine employees preference. It talked about additional ideas regarding ensuring that Illinois bid preference is given to Illinois companies. It would award not-for-profit agencies, persons, and significant disabilities, would give them… that was a Costa Howard Bill, would give them preference. It provided for additional veterans' preference, which was Representative Rosenthal's Bill. It provide also Representative Smith's Reimagining Hotel Florence Act. Representative Tarver's request for waiver… concerning waiver of aspirational goals and tightening that up as well as public institutions of higher education. The only thing that the Governor took issue with was a sentence concerning the issue of private-public partnerships. And that sentence, I believe, was inadvertently added in which it would've allowed these private-public partnerships, not only for the tollway and IDOT, but also for county and municipal governments. The Governor indicated in his Amendatory Veto that he wished to remove local 10300060.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day 11/7/2023 governments. And if we remove them, he would be good with the Bill. I ask for a favorable roll call."
"Leader Windhorst is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Thank you. Leader, in our analysis, we have that Local 150 has been working with the Governor's Office to find P3 language that will be agreeable to all parties. Are you aware of what the status of those discussions are?"
"This… this would be… this would contain the status of those discussions."
"So, we should anticipate, on this issue, nothing further than what is in this Bill?"
"Yes."
"Our analysis also shows proponents and opponents on the original Bill. Did the Amendatory Veto affect the proponents and opponents to your knowledge?"
"The proponents still remain. I'm not sure about the opponents. However, it did address some of the concerns that they had with having the… the public-private partnerships on local governments as well as counties and townships and municipalities."
"And as you specified, the underlying Bill had many subparts. The Amendatory Veto affected just one of those. Is that accurate?"
"Yes. It was… it had… 19 Bills were contained in the omnibus Bill. They were both Republican and Democrat ideas. And the only issue that the Governor took issue with was the 10300060.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 103rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day 11/7/2023 issue of the private-public partnerships in local governments."
"And when it first passed the House, it was 107 to 5 on Concurrence. After the changes in the Senate, the vote was 77-9-1. Does that sound accurate to you?"
"Yes."
"All right. Thank you."
"Seeing no further discussion, Leader Hoffman to close."
"I would ask that we accept the Governor's Amendatory Veto. I think that is… it is… was well-intentioned, was well- placed, and it makes a better Bill."
"Leader Hoffman moves to accept the specific recommendation of the Governor to House Bill 2878. All those in favor vote 'aye'; all those opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, please take the record. On this question, there are 109 voting in 'favor', 4 voting 'against', and 0 voting 'present'. And this Motion, having received the Constitutional Majority, the specific recommendation of the Governor as to House Bill 2878 are accepted. Leader Mah is recognized for an announcement."

"I wanted to take this time to say thank you to all of you. I promised I wouldn't cry. That was a very difficult call a few weeks ago. But what I wanted to say is, some of you don't know this, is that when you were texting and you were sending your prayers and your thoughts and your well-wishes, sometimes I didn't have my phone and my daughters had my phone. And so, as much as you were sending strength to me, you sent strength to them because, for the first couple hours, we didn't know. And that was hard. And I couldn't process as a wife because I had to be a mother and I had to make sure I went through a check list, 'cause unfortunately there's a check list in these situations, and I had to make sure everything was checked off. And so, your continuous prayers and well-wishes and road to recovery, I can't explain it, but by God, you made me get through this so much. And I thank every single one of you for your emails, your calls, your prayers, the flowers, everything that you sent out. I really, really do say thank you. I'm happy to say that at some point my husband will walk again. We truly believe that he will walk again. It'll take some time, but he's in good spirits and it's thanks to all of you and everybody who supported him during this last few weeks and will continue to do so. And I just wanted to say thank you. I know I don’t have to say that, but it's important that I do because you really helped my daughters. And as a mother, I can't thank you enough for that."

"Thank you. I also want to thank the Members of the Assembly. The passing of my father was very sudden, and your well-wishes, flowers, calls was very much appreciated, and those who contributed. My father grew up in East St. Louis in a community that was strong at one time. And ultimately deindustrialization caused a significant economic drain on the people in East St. Louis. And this Assembly can help those people, even if it's not your district. My father passed away suddenly, and we had to take care of him and bury him with dignity. And many of you helped us do that. And I want to thank you. I want to thank our Speaker of the House for his warm wishes and flowers and all of our Members for the cards and greetings and contributions to help the family in East St. Louis. And I really, really appreciate the support, as I was not able to be here the first week of Veto Session because of that. And I'm glad to have a family here and a family there that could depend on us to support them in the time such as this. So, thank you so much to the Members and to our Speaker of the House.
