"The House shall be in order. Members will be in their chairs. We shall be led in prayer today by Representative Dave Severin. Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turning off all cell phones, and rise for the invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance."

Dave Severin (R)

"Good morning. Again, I appreciate the opportunity to pray before we start this morning. I just want to share a… a verse out of the Bible. And Representative Grasse and I were just having a little discussion this morning and talking, and… and this is for you and for me, and I thought this was great. And Representative Tarver, he actually has this same app on his phone, so he'll know this verse. But it's Proverbs 27:17, King James Version 'cause I'm old school. 'Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friends.' So, I think that’s a… definitely a good word for this morning. Let's pray. Lord, I thank you for this day, and I thank you for each one that's in this chambers and in this Capitol. And I pray that you'd give us, again, as I ask every time, for wisdom and direction. I pray for your favor. I pray, Lord, as we travel today, you'd get us home safely, be with our families, and be with all the staff that are here, and be with our constituents. Help us to do your work, Lord, not only in this building, but each day of our lives. And I thank you, Lord, that you never give up on us. And I thank you that you love us, you care for us, you have a plan for us, you know who every one of us are, and you… you put up with us, and I thank you for that. Help us to have a great day, not just here in the Capitol, but the remainder of this day and 10400023.docx 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 23rd Legislative Day 3/21/2025 this week. And bring us back next… next week, Lord, to get the work done that we need to. In your name, amen. And there'll be no offering."

Bob Morgan (D)

"We shall be led in the Pledge of Allegiance today by Representative Crawford."

Crawford - et al

"I just wanted to remind everyone that April is Autism Awareness Month, and I will be doing, hopefully with your help, some points daily, not… not for any other reason other than to give you information and the education about autism. You'll hear it referred to it as neurodiversity. And speaking of neurodiversity, we're going to be launching a neurodiversity legislative caucus. On April 9, there'll be a breakfast in Room 413 from 8 to 9:30. Everyone is invited. Whether you have somebody that lives with you that is neurodiverse or lives near you, I would like to invite you to help us launch this brand-new caucus and, honestly, bring awareness and teach people how important understanding autism and other forms of neurodiversity are. And I'm going to guess that there are some people on the floor that are neurodiverse, and how we can all coexist beautifully together. So, April 9 is the breakfast from 8 to 9:30. We're going to launch the first-ever Legislative Neurodiversity Caucus, and you're all invited to participate. Thank you."

"Thank you. Today, for Women's History Month, I want to take a moment to recognize Mary G. Harris Jones, 10400023.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 23rd Legislative Day 3/21/2025 better known as Mother Jones. Jones was born in Ireland, but when the Great Potato Famine struck, she joined her family in immigrating to North America at the age of 10. In her early 20s, she moved to Chicago and then to Memphis, where she married a member and organizer of the National Union of, excuse me, Iron Moulders. But tragedy would soon strike, with Jones losing her husband and their four children to yellow fever epidemic in 1867. She then chose to return to Chicago to open a dressmaking business that was patronized… patronized, excuse me, by some of the wealthiest women in the city. Reportedly, the contrast between rich and poor had an impact on Jones, who began to show great interest in the labor movement. But tragedy would again strike with the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, destroying her home, shop, and belongings. Jones would help the city rebuild and would become increasingly active with the Knights of Labor. In an era of industrialization, Jones began to use her oratorical skills and organizational skills to focus on the rising number of working poor, especially as wages shrunk, hours increased, and workers had no insurance for unemployment, health care, or old age. By the end of the decade, Jones had found her calling and was traveling around the country organizing strikes. Over the following years, she was at the forefront of hundreds of strikes from numerous industries and causes, including child labor. She became increasingly popular and known wearing trademark black dresses and earning her nickname, Mother Jones. This was a violent era with labor clashes, but despite being banished in multiple towns and even being convicted at a military tribunal in 1912, Jones 10400023.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 23rd Legislative Day 3/21/2025 was relentless in her advocacy. Around the turn of the century, Jones became well known for her work with miners, and she continued to be active in labor work well into her 80s. In 1924, she made her last strike appearance in Chicago in support of striking dressmakers. Mother Jones passed away in 1930 and was buried at the Union Miners Cemetery in Mount Olive, Illinois. Despite the significant adversity she faced throughout her life, Mother Jones was relentless in her advocacy on behalf of workers. Through rights that were secure in this era, have played a significant role in the development of our country and still continue to resonate with workers today. So, let's recognize one of our state's most historic figures. Let's recognize Mother Jones. Thank you."

"Thank you. In celebration of Women's History Month, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge Sandra Pegg from Millstadt in the 114th District. Sandra has been an educational professional for over 20 years and is currently the principal at Millstadt Consolidated School, home of the Panthers. She has demonstrated strong leadership skills throughout her career in education and has helped countless students in the community. Her ability to help improve students' education… education comes from her skills, including professional development, behavior management, and project management, to name a few. Sandra will be retiring soon. So, today, I want to thank her for all that she has done to improve learning outcomes for our students, and I wish her the very best in her retirement years.

"As we celebrate Women's History Month, we honor the women who have shaped our culture, broken barriers, and inspired future generations. Today, I am proud to recognized a visionary artist, storyteller, an advocate, whose work has left an indelible mark on both the world and our very own State of Illinois, Lilly Wachowski. Born and raised right here in Chicago, Lilly's roots… well, not right here in Chicago, but, you know, back home in Chicago… Lilly's roots run deep in our city's creative and activist communities. Alongside her sister, Lana, she revolutionized modern cinema with 'The Matrix' trilogy, 'Cloud Atlas,' 'Jupiter Ascending,' and the groundbreaking series 'Sense8.' But for Lilly, storytelling has never just been about spectacle. It has always been about representation, identity, and expanding the possibilities of who gets to see themselves on screen and behind the camera. She has brought that vision home, filming 'Sense8' and other projects in Chicago, uplifting our city as a hub for powerful boundary-pushing storytelling. More than just showcasing our skyline, she has helped cultivate the next generation of filmmakers, supporting young artists, and ensuring that diverse voices get the opportunities they deserve in an industry that too often shuts them out. Lilly's commitment to inclusion isn't just about what she creates. It's about how she lives. As a proud transgender woman, she has been a fierce advocate for trans rights, LGBTQ+ visibility, and social justice. She understands firsthand the power of representation and the importance of lifting up those who are too often marginalized. Her work and her advocacy 10400023.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 23rd Legislative Day 3/21/2025 continue to inspire young people, especially young queer and trans people who are looking for their place in the world and the courage to live as their authentic selves. Lilly Wachowski is a testament to the power of storytelling, the strength of living authentically, and the impact of using one's voice for change. Today, we celebrate her creativity, her generosity, and her unwavering dedication to making our world a more inclusive, loving, and vibrant place. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's so nice to see you there today, and I know that this is something that is particularly close to your heart as well. Today is Rock Your Socks Day to raise awareness for Down syndrome. I want to remind everybody who wore their fun and funky socks today to post that picture and #RockYourSocks for a little boy in my district. His name is Parker, who was born with Down syndrome. And for the past seven years, I have brought socks down here for Members and our staff to make sure that they continue to raise awareness for not only kids like Parker, but people across the country with Down syndrome. These are individuals who had the most unbelievable potential to change the world and to change us by having them in our lives. So, we want to make sure that we're rocking our socks for Parker and his friends because we're here to make a place that is better for them tomorrow.
