Whatever must be changed must always be for good or at least better than it presently is. Let our Representatives be patient with one another and especially patient with their public constituents who make unreasonable demands upon them. Let our Legislators be guided with the wisdon of age and tradition. Let their concerns be always loving concerns for the good of man. Patience, wisdom and love and the greatest of these is love.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is rather a matter of personal privilege if I may?"

"Thank you. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I have an apology to make and I hope that you will all listen to me do so. This morning in Financial Institutions a Bill was supposed to be called and for reasons with which I was not familiar or for reasons which I suppose, the Chairman sent Representative McBroom, recessed the meeting and said that he would call a meeting one half-hour after adjournment. The Bill in question was one that was particularly important to many of us in the Legislature, many of us in 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 the Judiciary and many of us in various departments of government. I obviously lost my temper because I did not know why the Bill was not called, since the witnesses were present and as a matter of fact, I should add, the votes were present. And at that time I took strenuous issue with Senator (sic) McBroom, who is one of my oldest friends in the House. I doubt that there... Although I think I respect and admire and even like the vast majority of individuals in this House, there are very few that I am closer to than Senator (sic) McBroom. At the time I thought he did so- and I probably stated to the media- he did so at the request of Representative Telcser and Representative Collins. Representative Collins was in the room and I knew that he was not particularly in favor of the Bill. Representative Telcser had also indicated to me that he was not in favor of the Bill. And at that time, I publically stated that Senator (sic) McBroom was bowing to their wishes. I now must admit that I was in error. The posting notice that went out to the Members of the Committee was not identical in all cases. Several of us received the posting notice which showed that Bill 269 would be called. Several other Members of the Committee received the posting notice showing that 295 would be called. At the time, Senator (sic) McBroom indicated that there was some confusion, but he assured the Members of the Committee that they would meet one-half hour after adjournment as soon as he could straighten out the confusion and the necessary Bill is assigned to the Committee would be called. My remarks against the Chairman of the Committee, Representative McBroom, my remarks against Representative Collins and Representative Telcser were certainly uncalled for and although I hope they will accept my apology, whether they do or not, I want the whole House to know that 7 60th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 10,1981 losing your temper is not a very valuable asset. I was in error. And I apologize and I would certainly respect the Chairman's decision to have the meeting after adjournment. Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for listening."
"Thank you, Sir. On that point, Representative Leon."
"And, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, at that meeting I, a Democratic Spokesman of the Committee, raised the issue early this morning, called the Clerk's Office and there was some confusion on the posting of the Bills and the numbers and I called the attention to the Chairman, Mr. McBroom, and as a result of that he took the action that he took in order to clarify the record."
"Thank you, Sir. On that question, Representative NcBroom."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, first of all, Representative Epton, I accept your apology and don't feel that one was even necessary. I think every...each and every Member, including myself, from time to time have been angry or disappointed over the disposition of a Bill, either because it passed or because it failed. And, it certainly in no way impairs the friendship and respect that I have for you. I want to extend my sincere thanks to the Minority Spokeman on the Committee, Representative Leon. He and I have worked together for many years and I have tried to be cooperative with Representative Leon when he was Chairman of the Committee and he has been more than cooperative with me as Minority Spokesman. John keeps reminding me that things might change in two years and he might be Chairman. So, and I might be Minority Spokesman, add a bit of levity I guess to this business once in a while. The Committee on Financial Institutions will meet a 8 60th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 10,1981 half-hour after adjournment. It will be in C-1 where we met this morning. There was confusion. We now find that a Bill, House Bill 295, was apparently assigned to both Registration and Regulation and to our Committee. It has to do with the licensing of snowmobiles so I hardly think it would be in our Committee. There has been some confusion. And, the Committee will resume a half-hour after adjournment in C-1. Thank you."
"Thank you, Representative McBroom. On what point, Representative Sandquist? Representative Sandquist."
"I just would like to get the record clear then that House Bill... I mean Senate Bill 269 of which I'm the House Sponsor will be heard then this afternoon in Financial Institutions. Am I correct?"
"That's what the Gentleman indicated."
"I want to clarify. He talked about 295. 269 was posted properly so."
"I...The Gentleman is not here to respond to that now. Representative Stearney."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, on a point of personal privilege. It deals with the subject of the assignment of Bills. It deals with Senate Bill 890...867, which deals with the subject of insanity and guilty by mentally ill. This Bill was originally assigned to Judiciary II, then reassigned to Executive, then re-reassigned back to Judiciary II and then re-re-reassigned back to Executive this morning after it was set to be heard in Judiciary II this morning of which I'm the Chairman. The Bill deals with a substantial area of substantial concept in the area of criminal justice and I'm thoroughly appalled and so are the Members of the Committee that we could play such games with this matter. 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 Now, there was a Bill that passed out of Committee, Executive Committee, Jack Davis' Bill, which dealt with the subject of child beating and death penalty that went to Executive. I didn't object to that and that was a serious infringement upon the Committee process. But when you begin doing it over and over and over again and you begin emasculating, eradicating the entire criminal justice system to placate one Sponsor, then I think we've gone too far. And I think at this time I'm going to file a Motion to recommit that Bill back to Judiciary II so that we do honor the Committee process. Remember, no one is going to bring the Bill to any Committee if they feel they cannot get it passed and I, on one hand, did not want a particular Bill sent to Health and Family Services, but they said it was going there and it did go there. Well, if that be the case, it should apply across the Board for each and every Bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"The Chair will now proceed with the business of the House. On that point, Representative Getty? Representative Getty."
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I, too, rise on the matter of 867 and I arise further as a point of personal privilege. I am the Democratic Member of the Committee on Assignments. I want to let you know that on the initial assignment, I voted that that should go to the Judiciary II Committee. It is a Bill clearly within the provence of the Judiciary II Committee and should not have been assigned to any other Committee. Subsequently that Bill was reassigned to the Executive Committee and then beyond belief, re-reassigned to the Judiciary II Committee. And today, apparently after a poll of the Members and an unsatisfactory result appeared to be forthcoming, it was again reassigned to the Executive Committee. On none of 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 those subsequent reassignments was I consulted or notified that a vote would be taken by the Committee on the reassignment. I would like it clearly understood in this record that I would have vigorously opposed any of those reassignments. It should have stayed in the Judiciary II Committee and to move it someplace else was in derrogation I think of the traditions of this House and a derrogation of the best interests of this House and the people of the State of Illinois."
"Representative Collins, excused absences?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, will the record show that Representative Margalus is excused because of illness and Representative Telcser is excused because of a death in the family?"

"Mr. Speaker, may the record indicate that Representative Redmond is excused due to illness in the family?"
"The record will SO indicate. It is now the intention of the Chair to go to the Calendar.

Many of these young people are members of 4-H clubs throughout the State of Illinois, including Chicago and Cook County and I'm sure that many of them have visited with you and they will be visiting with you in the next 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 couple of days. There are some 30,000 volunteer leaders who assist in this outstanding program of developing young people to become better leaders in our State of Illinois. Will you kindly give them a very warm welcome to the House of Representatives 4-H members of the State of Illinois? And, Tom Sinack will be their representative and will give just a brief word. Tom?"
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I'm Tom Sinack, 4-H'er from Cook County, Chicago and in the name of the 138,000 members of 4-H and the 30,000 adult and volunteer, leaders I would like to thank you for your past and continuing support of the 4-H program. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to extend a personal invitation to you and your families to attend 4-H Day at the University of Illinois. On September 19th the fighting Illini will do battle with Syracuse and after the game 4-H will hold banquets honoring elected officials, 4-H leaders and 4-H members.

I justwanted to say to Representative Ropp that I'm glad to see that he brought some of my constituents down this year in 4-H from the Robert Taylor Housing Project and they have tomatoes over there and I've eaten them.

And if you're not busy tonight, over at the State fairgrounds, Agriculture Department, we're having a barbeque and we'd really appreciate it if you'd come. Thank you."
"Mr. Speaker, the Clerk has at his desk House Resolution 370 and I'd ask unanimous consent that the reading of House Resolution 370 be dispensed with.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. Amendment #1 for the coal.. Amendment #2, excuse me, creates a Coal Research Board within the Institute of Natural Resources consisting of nine Members and it's spelled out in the Amendment how they are... There will be five representatives from industry, labor and a Director of the Department of Mines and Minerals, Director of the Institute of Natural Resources, Chairman of the Illinois Industry Resources Commission and Department of ... Director of the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs. They will have records and assess the needs of Illinois coal. For years we've gone without having any real board or research board to handle coal research matters and we've really not had a great energy policy, I guess, in Illinois. This helps establish that and I'd urge for adoption of the Amendment."
"On the Amendment, Representative Wikoff."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is an agreed Amendment with myself and the Senate Sponsor. It's an administration Bill and they're in complete agreement with it. And I would urge adoption of the Amendment."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This deals with an Amendment to the Condominium Property Act requiring that an owner which converts a property..a building into a condominium to give the tenants access to the building and relevant documents during the period when they have by law a right of first refusal. It provides that they can exercise that right when they receive notice..."
"Representative Greiman, excuse me."
"Yes."
"The Chair has asked those who are not entitled to the floor to please leave. The Chair now makes that request once again without any intent to embarrass anyone. It is difficult to hear. It is difficult for the Chair to 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 insure that the House proceeds. Those not entitled to the floor will please leave. The doorkeepers will please assist the Chair in insuring that that, in fact, happens. Representative Greiman."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, this Bill seeks to clarify some of the tenants' rights on the exercise of the right of first refusal during and after the period of the initial right of first refusal. The law now gives that right to people who are part of a condo...living as tenants when there's a development conversion. And it brings some fairness and equity to that process. I'd ask for an adoption."
"The Chair will be at ease for about five minutes until everybody discusses what they've got to discuss and then we can end up proceeding. Representative Conti, for what purpose, Sir?"
"Well, Mr. Speaker, for the exact purpose of why you're standing in recess. I see that this Bill is on Short Debate and I'm not going to speak against the Bill. But there's a fine punishable, $100.00 a day, on this Short Debate and we'd better start listening to some of these Short Debate Bills that are being passed because they come back to haunt us when we go back home."
"The Chair, for the last time, is going to ask the doorkeepers to get everybody out of here that doesn't belong here. Put the checks back in your pockets and get the people off the floor who don't belong here. That's number one. Number two, staff that is not entitled to the floor at this point because the Bill is not being heard will leave. Number two, staff that is not entitled to the floor at this point will please leave. Visitors who are saying hello and getting autographs will leave. There's going to be 15 Motions filed later on when you people find out what you've voted for or didn't vote for. I agree it's 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 their problem. Unfortunately the Chair has got to handle that with 72 Motions. On this question, Representative Conti."
"Well, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I'm not speaking against the Bill. I just want to call to the attention of everyone, this is Short Debate and this Bill does carry a fine punishable of $100.00 a day if the contractor does not allow the tenant to see the property or have full access to the property. Now, I don't know whether this is good or bad, but it is...there's a red flag there."
"Representative Greiman."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To close, it has a fine, but it's not $100.00 a day. It's a business offense of a total of $500.00 and I would suspect that it will ..it will compel compliance and give people who are buying property access to look at the property. If... That's all it does is seek to give tenants the right when they are going to exercise their option to be able to look at the property that they're going to buy and look at some of the pertinent stuff in the file. That's all it does and I ask for its adoption."

"...Senate Amendment. was awfully short, What does this Bill you repeat your The Bill would allow the Secretary of State to require only one annual report to be filed yearly by corporations in Illinois instead of the two annual reports required now."
"What is the Senate Amendment?"
"The Amendment would enable facilitating language for corporations from around the nation to invest in Illinois. It's a technical Amendment just sought by the Secretary of State to allow corporations that were making loans in Illinois to continue making loans. Apparently there's some language in the Statutes which makes it questionable as to whether some corporations can, in fact, make loans in our state."
"Our analysis seems to indicate that this Bill would allow corporations who are not qualified to do business in the State of Illinois to invest in loan money in the State of Illinois. Is that correct?"

"Are they allowed to do that now?"
"They are in terms of the..what's done but they aren't in terms of what the Statutes say they can do. And so this language is actually technical to make sure that there's no question whatsoever that any corporation, whether it's in New York or California or in Illinois, can, in fact, make loans in Illinois. It's purely technical language correcting what appears to be some misunderstanding in the 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 Statutes.

Senate Bill 607 is very similar to 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 legislation we've already passed in the House of Representatives.

"What if the person is..."
"I'm not sure that I heard you. But what I think you're getting at there...some discretion right now ...we're talking about trying to let someone act as an administrator of their estate, whether or not they could have them committed as incapacitated into the nursing home and they're saying now wait a minute. Let's make sure that if you want to go that far, that you indeed are declared 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 incompetent by the courts."
"In other words, they ...this is only for a person who would not be senile or such. If they object, then they cannot be put in the nursing home. Is that right?"
"Without further court proceedings, yes. You know, there are degrees of senility and if, you know, if you want your son or your daughter to administer your estate to pay for your hospital bills and so and so forth, then you can give them the right to do so. But this does not go clear to the point of totally incapacitated and therefore, you'd have to go through the regular court system in order to do that."

What it provides is that each year all of the funds which are appropriated from the Driver Education Fund to the State Board of Education, with the exception of funds that are necessary for administrative purposes, shall be distributed to School Districts by the State Board of Education for reimbursement of claims for the previous school year. What this actually means is it changes the present program of ten dollars for classroom and forty dollars for behind the wheel to the utilization of all of the funds that are available in the Driver Training Fund which means that that number, that fifty dollar total number, should be pushed up so that the funds that are avaiable in the Driver Training Fund can be totally appropriated to the School Districts for driver education. We have had monies left in the Driver Training Fund that could have been utilized by School Districts 36 60th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 10,1981 which are hard pressed at the present time to finance their driver education programs.

And whereas, his tragic death ended a brilliant 33 year career with the Chicago Police Department rising through the ranks from patrolman to the number two position in the Department, First Deputy Superintendent, and whereas, James Reardon served with distinction as the Commander of the First District during the turbulant period in our recent history developing a calm and firm approach in handling large crowds and demonstrations which won him universal acclaim. And whereas, he served the Chicago Crime Commission Merit Award as outstanding District 44 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 Commander of the year in 1965 for his deligent work in cleaning up the South State Street and Wabash Avenue Vice-District and whereas, James Reardon was recognized as a capable policeman and an excellent administrator while serving the numerous command positions including Director of Organized Crime, Commander of First District, Deputy Chief of Patrol for Area One, Deputy Chief of Patrol for Area Five, Deputy Chief of Traffic Division, twice as Chief of Patrol and finally, as First Deputy Superintendent. And whereas, James Reardon despite these achievements received his greatest distinction within the Chicago Police Department and among its members known simply as a policeman's policeman.

"On the Resolution, Representative McAuliffe."
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I had the pleasure of knowing Superintendent Reardon and I had talked to him just as recently as a week ago. It was almost impossible to go to a retirement party for police officers in Chicago without seeing him there. He certainly was available to the men. He was the type of man who didn't forget the patrolmen on the bottom. He went to everybody's parties, whether they were superintendents or whether they were commanders or captains or if they just were plain patrolmen. He had a ... He leaves a legacy of many, many friends on the Police Department. He was a dedicated police officer and the way he gave his life showed he couldn't turn his back from someone in trouble. He was unarmed at the time and tried to reason with a man who was six foot four and 250 pounds. Many people would have just turned the other way and walked out the door. He didn't choose to do that, and for that reason he gave his life."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Jim Reardon was not only a policeman's policeman, but he was probably one of the best and finest administrators in the nation in one of the finest police departments in the nation. The Police Department and the people of the City of Chicago lost an able administrator, a 46 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 10,1981 policeman's policeman. I personally lost a dear friend and anyone who had any dealings with Jim Reardon knew that you didn't need an appointment to see him. He had an open door policy from a patrolman in any district in Chicago or any human being or resident in the City of Chicago. He always had time to listen to the concerns of the people of my community, to really alleviate some of the difficult situations on a day to day basis. To his lovely wife, Loretta, my deepest sympathy and to his family. I know that words cannot express our deep sorrow and loss, and to the Membership of this Body who are unable to attend his funeral, I believe, Mr. Speaker, with the passing and having this House stand adjourned on this Resolution shows the high esteem we hold for Jim Reardon. Thank you."
"Thank you. The question is, 'Shall House Resolution 368 be adopted?'. In the adoption and the gesture of our esteem and respect the House will stand adjourned until 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.
