"Good afternoon. Let us pray. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who has brought us thus far along the way, we are grateful for this opportunity to serve humanity. In the midst of war and civil unrest, unbridled greed, today we have given us reason to celebrate as decisions will be made to improve the lives of the residents of this great state. We acknowledge the humanity of everyone in this place, regardless of race, age, education, or socioeconomic status. Embed in these men and women the fruits of the spirt into their minds, into their hearts, in their souls, would include peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Give them the wisdom to lead with integrity regardless, righteousness, and divine justice. Allow their yes to be yes and their no to be no. When a wrong decision is made, give them the accountability to own it with humility and to move expeditiously to right the wrong as quick as possible. God, as you equip and empower the governor, penetrate the hearts and minds of those he's been appointed to lead. We ask that you protect them physically and mentally. When they are weary, allow them to rest in green pastures and lead them to rivers 10400011.docx 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025 of living water. Remove any bias rooted in race, ethnicity, gender, or religious practice. Equip them with the civility, de-escalation, and negotiation skills for the greater good of this state. As good-willed people, let us work together for a more just, healthy, and peaceful beloved community. Power us to address the evils that are often lead people to lawlessness, evils like poverty, unemployment, underemployment, lack of education, inhumane housing conditions, access to health care, and oppression. Transform our hearts and our minds from thinking that these are political issues to understand that these are human issues. Lead us to embrace the imago Dei, that all of humanity is created in the image of God. From Chicago to Cairo, from Danville to Decatur, from Rockford to Rantoul, we are Illinoisans. Show us how to love and act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with you, God. Amen."

"Mr. Speaker, I know you appreciate this, and so many of us here in this chamber are proud to be part of the strong alumni group of the Edgar Fellows Program. I participated in the Edgar Fellows Program in 2014, meeting great colleagues now that I'm proud to serve with together. I know that Leader Mah was part of that program before being elected to the Legislature, Leader Castro in the Senate side. All of us have these same stories and experiences of great relationships that we've made in the State of Illinois that were brought together by one very special person, Governor Jim Edgar. And yesterday, we learned of Governor Edgar's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. And so, on behalf of all the Edgar Fellows, all of us as Members of the General Assembly, I know that we wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to Governor Edgar for building this great program, for serving for eight years as a strong and able governor, someone that is well respected. So many years later, we look back to the Jim Edgar days in our state government with reverence and appreciation. And so, all of us, Governor Edgar, are rooting for your swift recovery. We know how strong you are. We know how dedicated 10400011.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025 you are. And you know that all of us here, as your friends in the Illinois General Assembly, are wishing you a swift and speedy recovery. Godspeed and God bless to Governor Jim Edgar."

"Last week, Governor Pritzker introduced his budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2026. The governor's budget proposal would spend $55.2 billion, nearly $2 billion more than last year and another record-breaking spending level. One thing is for certain, the majority party has proven time and time again that they cannot live within a reasonable budget. Since Governor Pritzker took office in 2019, state spending has increased by more than $15 billion, $15 billion, from $40 billion to $55.2 billion, a 38% increase since 2019. We've seen no structural reforms to cut spending, to lower the tax burden on hardworking families, or to improve our economy. The House Republicans want to make it perfectly clear: We will not negotiate a budget that includes any tax increases. State government desperately needs structural reforms and to learn to live within our means. Despite the 2020 election results, which saw Illinois voters soundly defeat a progressive tax increase 53 to 47, Democrats have once again introduced an amendment for a progressive tax increase. We will stand with the hardworking families of Illinois against any attempt to increase their taxes. Last year, I suggested that perhaps we need a line in the budget for services for the Democratic majority to deal with their compulsion for 10400011.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025 excessive spending. Perhaps it's time we look at that again. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"If I could have everybody's attention, please. Thank you. I appreciate that. Last week, St. Clair County sheriff's deputies were assisting in a DCFS wellness check of a… a child. And for some of the new Members here on both sides of the aisle, I want to reintroduce you to Pam Knight, who, the month of February, the anniversary of her death, was brutally attacked and killed by a deranged father in 2018 in Carroll County while doing a wellness check on a child. And, again, unfortunately, it happened with Deidre Silas, who was brutally murdered in 2022 in Sangamon County during a home visit. Last week's incident in St. Clair County is a terrifying reminder of the real dangers that our DCFS and frontline workers go through every day. We, here in the House, did our part and passed Pam Knight's bill April of 2019. But we must go further. It must just not be words of admiration. We must pass the Knight-Silas Act. Today, in the House, we have two bills to accommodate whatever will work, HB1550 and 1551. And Senator Turner has SB81 in the Senate, and that has been assigned to a committee. So, it gives me a little bit of hope that we might have a chance for this to go in the Senate. My ask today is for Speaker Welch, as a previous cosponsor to our bill that we passed here in the House, I implore you to please assign the bill to give Representative Slaughter the ability to call the bill again here in the House and let's do 10400011.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025 our job again here. Let's pass the Knight-Silas bill for all of our frontline workers before we have another brutal, brutal murder of a DCFS frontline worker. Thank you."
"Representative Will Davis, what reason do you seek recognition?" Davis, W.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A point of personal privilege."
"Please speak your point." Davis, W.: "Ladies and gentlemen of the House, I rise today as a Member of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus to offer the ILBC Black history moment for today. Today's moment is extremely personal to me in that I am acknowledging today the very first Black chancellor of the SIU Carbondale campus, Chancellor Austin Lane. Dr. Austin Lane became chancellor of Southern Illinois University Carbondale on July 1, 2020. Under his leadership, SIU Carbondale launched its strategic plan, Imagine 2030, focusing on student success, diversity, branding, research, and sustainability. Despite the pandemic, freshman enrollment at SIU Carbondale has increased and more local students are choosing SIU Carbondale. Chancellor Lane introduced the Saluki Commitment and the Saluki Transfer Commitment, ensuring financial aid covers tuition for qualified Illinois students. He also started the Saluki Step Ahead program for community college graduates and formed partnerships with school districts and youth organizations, including Chicago Hope. He revitalized the Dr. Seymour Bryson Future Scholars program and the Chancellor's Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion. Before SIU, Dr. Lane held various leadership roles in higher education, including president of 10400011.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025 Texas Southern University and executive vice chancellor at Lonestar College… College System. He has served on multiple boards and committees, including Southern Illinois Healthcare and the NAACP Honors Committee. He received an Honorary State FFA Degree in 2024 and other numerous awards, such as the 2… 2022 100 Black Men of America 'Rising Star' award. A New Jersey native, Chancellor Lane earned a B.A. in psychology from Langston University, a M.A. in humane… human relations from the University of Oklahoma, and an Ed… Ed.D. degree in higher education administration from the University of Alabama. He is married to Loren Lane and has three children, Lauren, Chase, and Lance. And, again, I chose this opportunity as we talk about history… and I know history often reflects on people that some are still living, but many have passed on, and we're acknowledging the place that they have in Black history. But I wanted to do something just a little different and acknowledge what I think is a history maker here in the State of Illinois, the fact that Dr. Lane is the first Black chancellor of the Carbondale campus. And I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge Chancellor Minor, who was the first Black chancellor of the SIU Edwardsville campus as well. So, SIU is cementing its space in history, in Black history, in the State of Illinois with those two choices. And as always, and I've acknowledged him before, the Alexander Lane scholarship program, which is an internship-style program through the Carbondale campus, has placed five individuals, five individuals here, working in various capacities here in the Capitol. And they are: Journey Short from Chicago, Illinois, Gene Callahan; Traseanda Jones, Alexander Lane Scholar; 10400011.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025 Brandon Varela from Centralia, Illinois; Dennis Sturkey from Chicago, Illinois. These are either Alexander Lane Scholars, Latino Heritage Scholars, or Gene Callahan Scholars. And they are a… are fantastic representatives of the SIU Carbondale campus, as well as today's Black history acknowledgement for Dr. Alexander Lane, chancellor of SIU Carbondale. Thank you very much, Members."

"I want to thank Representative Davis for bringing this up this… this afternoon. I wanted to get to a quick shoutout for Chancellor Lane. When he first came to SIU, of course, the enrollment at SIU was plummeting. And when he came, he was… made a commitment to Southern Illinois that he was going to recruit Southern Illinois students that were going… leaving Southern Illinois, leaving the State of Illinois, going to other states. And let me just tell you how serious he is about recruiting the Illinois students. When he… he said he's not going to phone call a high school to check, he actually goes personally to the schools, talks to the kids, and he gives out his personal cell phone to the high school students when he goes and visits them. So, he's a man of integrity. He does a fantastic job. And if you look at what's going on at SIU, he's part of the answer for the problems that we've there. So, I just want to give shoutout to him. And, Representative Davis, I appreciate you sharing the words about Chancellor Lane because he's doing a fantastic job, and we appreciate the… for the job that he's doing. Thank you." 10400011.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day 2/25/2025
"Representative Will Davis is recognized for a point of personal privilege." Davis, W.: "Thank you again, Mr. Speaker. We sometimes often refer to the State Capitol as the people's House because we're all elected by the people of the State of Illinois to come here to represent their interest and varied interest throughout the entire State of Illinois. And one thing that we strongly encourage is students' organizations to come and visit with us, see how it works down here, see what happens down here, and understand these various processes that happen down here. And today, I'm again honored to acknowledge a… a group from the South Suburbs, and they are CEDA's Uplift youth civic engagement program. Will they please stand? All of these young people are from School District 205, which is a Thornton school district in the South Suburbs. I, too, am a graduate of Thornridge High School, one of those schools. And this is not their first visit here in Springfield, and we hope it's certainly not their last. But we welcome them here today so they can observe, so they can listen, and see firsthand how the process works down here. They may visit some committees later today if we have an opportunity after caucus. But, again, today, ladies and gentlemen, in the gallery behind me standing up is CEDA's Uplift youth civic engagement program with Thornton Township 205. Would you please give them a hand?"
