"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly, House of Representatives. Amendment #3 to House Bill 97 provides for the creation of a Probation Services Compensation Fund."
"Proceed, Mr. McCracken."
"That fund would be the source on which the funding for the program contemplated by House Bill 97 is created. It is created out of a 10% fine which will be levied on all other fines, both for traffic and criminal convictions. The proceeds from that fund are to be used to provide the state subsidy to counties for up to 50% of total probation and court service costs. That 50% figure is consistent with House Bill 97 as it currently exists. There would be a limitation on the use of the fund so that no more than 50% of that fund could be used to fund county probation programs in counties in excess of two million persons. This fund is expected to generate about $4,000,000 based on prior experience with the creation of funds of this type. It provides that the counties are to deposit the proceeds of the fine with the state one year at a time and to report collections quarterly. There is one proviso to this Amendment which I'd like to alert the House to, and that is if this funding mechanism proves to be inadequate, this matter can be reconsidered by the House for purposes of funding up to the requirements of the probation program contemplated by Representative Matijevich. I urge the support of the House for this Amendment for a number of reasons. In view of the fiscal condition of our state, Mr. Speaker, in view of the priorities which we are facing, in view of the equity of the funding mechanism and that it draws upon the probation experience on a county by county basis, in that it is funded by the users of the system, and in that it provides an escape mechanism for future 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 alternate funding if necessary. I urge the support of this House for Amendment #3."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, the Gentleman who offered the Amendment has just said that if the Amendment, in the end, produces less revenue than is necessary to implement House Bill 97, then it can be adjusted. I would urge the Membership to vote down Amendment #3 for these reasons. One, I have talked to the Illinois Probation and Court Services Association, and first of all, it would be very deficient in funding. Second, what it would tie in probation services to fines which they believe is a bad policy for the State of Illinois to get into. I just left the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Law Enforcement, and this concept is going to be used, evidently, for the funding of the Violent Crime Victims' Assistance Act. There is just so many ways that you can use this concept of add-ons to fines. The Gentleman, 'L. Appa', from the Police Training Board, although he totally supports the Crime Victims' Assistance, he has some problems with use of that funding, because the matter is right now in the Supreme Court. I have told everybody publicly that if we do not find new revenues, I would tube my Bill no matter where it is. But I believe that if there is going to be new revenues - and I believe I'll be in the forefront of supporting new revenues - that we ought to consider this matter of probation services improvement as one of our top priorities. And because of all of that and the fact that you're going to put this Bill in a much different posture than I believe it ought to be, I would urge your defeat of Amendment #3."
"On the Amendment, Mr. Hallock."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. For 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 those of you who have looked at this Bill, you know that the cost of this to the state would be very expensive. This Bill would allow the state to fund about one half the probation and court services here in our state. It is a good idea. It was a good idea last year, but this year, of course, we have an unusual constraint, and that is the budget. The cost of this program is estimated to be about $20,000,000, and clearly the money's not there. However, this Amendment, on the other hand, does offer a funding source. Therefore, because this funding source would be viable, I urge you to support this Amendment and make this Bill much better. Thank you."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I rise in support of the Gentleman's Amendment. I think a couple of very important points need to be made. What you are doing, if you pass this Bill absent the Amendment, is funding a new program out of the General Revenue Fund. Where are you going to take that money from? We know the dire straits the General Revenue Fund is in. You've just made, you've just authorized for the Governor to make substantial reductions in mental health because of the dire straits of the General Revenue Fund. Are you going to make further reductions in mental health to fund probation officers? What the Gentleman's Amendment does is to provide a way of funding this mechanism, this program, admittedly a very good program, it provides a way of funding it without taking money away from mental health, without further depleting the General Revenue Fund. Should you pass this Bill without this Amendment, what you're really saying is that you're going to take money away from some other priority purpose, or you're voting for an increased tax. You're going to implicitly admit that you 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 have to raise taxes, and you have to raise them by the additional amount of this new program. I would strongly argue for the Gentleman's Amendment, because it provides a way of funding this new program without increasing taxes and without taking money away from mental health. Thank you."
"Mr. Hoffman."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen, I rise in support of this Amendment, and with all due deference to the Sponsor of the Bill and his assurance that if additional revenues are not available, he would not pursue this program. I would suggest that there is a logic to the Amendment, to finding a separate source of revenue for this program. Those of you who were here in past Legislative Sessions will remember that two years ago we passed legislation to fund additional costs in the Driver Training Fund out of additional charges on traffic tickets and on first time recipients of a drivers' license. There is precedent for this kind of approach. It is working well, and I would ask for your support of this fine Amendment."
"Mr. Davis."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of Representative McCracken's Amendment. Without this Amendment, I think Representative Vinson was quite correct. The Governor will veto it. You know it, and I know it. And the veto will be sustained, because the money will not be there. Now that fine Parliamentarian standing on your right, Mr. Speaker, I supported this concept when he carried this Bill. I believe that it is the right thing to do. Former Representative Getty and I are very interested in corrections, and we know this alternative has to go. I like this idea. It is not fiscally reasonable at this 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 point in time, and I think Representative McCracken addresses that problem through a system of literally user fees. And I believe at this point if Representative...former Representative Getty was still sitting out here with us, he'd vote for this Amendment to make absolutely sure that this Bill is signed by the Governor for the first year funding for this program and until the revenue picture stabilizes or a firm source of revenue is available as an alternative to incarceration. Now you can talk about cost effectiveness on probation versus incarceration all you want to, but the political realities are, this very good concept of Representative Getty's and Representative Matijevich's is going to find itself in a gubernatorial veto. I recommend to you Democrats over there to join us and support Representative McCracken's Amendment that creates a user fee for the fund. I recommend an 'aye' vote."
"Representative Giorgi."
"Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Sponsor of the Amendment will answer a couple of guestions."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Are you planning...are you planning to tack this fee onto the court fines as we know them now? For example, if you disobey a stop sign, you have to put up a $50 bond? Does this mean you're going to have to increase that $50 bond?"
"No, it would not affect the bond, Mr. Giorgi."
"Where's the money coming from?"
"Only fines actually assessed after a finding or a plea of guilty."
"I can't...I can't hear you."
"Only fines actually assessed after a finding or a plea of guilty." 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983
"Is this solely in Criminal Court, or is it also in Traffic Court?"
"Traffic Court as well."
"Traffic Court as well. Do you know what you're...and you're confining this to Cook County only?"
"No, Sir."
"You're not confining it to Cook County only?"
"No, Sir."
"Do you know how many tickets are written in your county a year, the county you...you're an attorney, are you not?"
"Yes, Sir."
"And you're practicing in the same court you're increasing the fees on, are you not?"
"Yes."
"Well, do you find that, you know, kind of shaky?"
"I'm not here in my capacity as a private attorney."
"Well, you jump out of that suit today, or what?"
"I did my best."
"But you're telling me you want to increase the fines of the court you practice in, and you're fees are sometimes predicated on what you're practicing in, are you not?"
"My clients' fee schedule is not structured that way."
"Well, I'll give you some help on structuring the fee if you want some help on structuring the fee."
"Okay."
"But anyway...Your Honor, I think what's happening in Illinois is really dismal, and this Amendment, I think, shows how bad it is. You're getting poor people that can't pay their house taxes now and you're getting people that are out of work are being stopped, and they are writing tickets profusely, and they're charging people $50 if they've went around a barricade, or $50 is they've failed to turn in the right lane and so on, and you want to tack 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 more on that poor guy's problems for something that ought to come out of General Revenue Fund. I think it is a very bad Amendment. It is very badly made up, and I think we ought to defeat it decisively."
"Is there any further discussion? There being no further discussion, Mr. McCracken to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members of the House, I urge your support in this equitable Bill. The funding considerations is a red herring issue. This Bill will be funded to provide for adequate probation services. They...they already exist by virtue of the current law and state subsidy for county probation programs, ample use of state funds for that purpose. We will not be sacrificing any probations services if this matter is funded only through this equitable user fee. There will be no problem. Probation services will not cease. They will not erode to the point where we risk the quality of services Illinois is famous for. We will be able to provide those services in the most equitable manner based on this user fee. It is tied directly to the incidence of probation on a county-by-county basis. It is funded directly out of the persons who benefit by the system. In light of our budgetary priorities, and in light of the fact that we will not erode our probation services by adoption of this Amendment, I urge your support for Amendment #3."
"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #3 to House Bill 97. All those in favor of the Amendment signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 43 'ayes', 66 'nos'. The Amendment fails. Are there further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #4, McCracken, amends House Bill 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 97 on page four."
"Mr McCracken."
"Mr. Speaker, Amendment #4 is for the purpose of limiting the state's share of reimbursement to counties for probation and court services to a maximum amount which is equal to what the county paid for those services in the year prior to the effective date of the Act. The purpose of this Amendment is to limit essentially what will be a free ride for the counties. We can just imagine now, as they get more and more help and have to pay for a smaller and smaller share of their probation services, that there is a point in time when they will reach a number which is less than what they've spent in the last preceding year before adoption of this Act. We want to limit the counties' use of this state subsidy to that level. I move for the adoption of the Amendment."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I urge your opposition to this Amendment. The whole reason why I introduced the Bill was that we need an improvement in the appropriations services in Illinois. What you do by this Amendment is you immediately say we're going to put a hold on the funds that any probation department in the State of Illinois would provide. Now, each year the probation departments in the counties where they have probation departments would have to submit an annual plan to the Illinois courts. They've got to show that they are living up to standards, that they also are showing a plan for improvement in their probation services. That's the whole reason for introduction of the Bill. By this Amendment, you are saying, 'No, we don't want to improve the probation services'. You are, in effect, killing the thrust and intent of my Bill by Amendment #4, and I would 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 urge your opposition to it."
"Mr. McCracken to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill...or this Amendment, if adopted, would allow the counties, effectively, to double the size of their program. If, under current law, a county is not getting any state subsidy for some reason, under this Bill, that 100% share then becomes a 50% share in the future. If it becomes a 50% share in the future of which the state picks up the remainder, the Bill or the program has doubled. Now, we have to stop this somewhere, and I submit that a doubling of the counties' ability to provide probation services is certainly more than adequate in the foreseeable future. As a matter of fact, if this Amendment were not adopted, there is a possibility the fiscal notes would not be applicable, because it is my understanding that they assume only a match of current county funds. So, I move for the adoption of Amendment #4 to House Bill 97."
"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #4. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 47 'ayes', 64 'nos'. The Amendment fails. Are there any further Amendments?"

I believe the test for this issue has always been whether...if the Amendment were adopted, it could be read and would make sense in conjunction with the Bill...with the Amendment adopted. I believe if you read the language of the Amendment and if you look at the Bill, you'll find that it makes eminent sense, that it is easily understandable and that there is no confusion or disorder.

"Mr. Cullerton, Mr. Cullerton. Would the Membership please give their attention to Mr. Cullerton? This Bill is now on the Order of Third Reading, final passage. So if we could...Mr. DiPrima, could you give your attention to Mr. Cullerton, and could we break up the caucases? We are now on the Order of Third Reading, final passage. Mr. Cullerton."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said, this Bill amends the Criminal Code clarifying the area of law covering the preliminary hearing. The first thing we do is to change the statute to change the name of the preliminary hearing. Right now it is labeled a preliminary examination. So we conformed the law to the practice by calling it a preliminary hearing. We also codified the defendant's right to be represented by an attorney at the preliminary hearing. We further allow the defendant the right to testify at the preliminary hearing. The last time this Bill was introduced was, I believe, four years ago. At 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 that time, it had the approval of the State's Attorneys' Appellate Service Commission and the State's Attorneys' Association who had testified in favor of the Bill. The Bill as amended, I believe, will be an improvement of the current practice. It really isn't a drastic change with the current practice but will simply codify certain basic rights that have been provided by case law. And I would be happy to answer any questions and ask for your support of the Bill."
"Is there any discussion? There being no discussion, the question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 87 'ayes', 21 'nos'. This Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. House Bill 57. Mr. Olson. Mr. Olson indicates that he does not wish to call this Bill. House Bill 68, Mr. Preston. Mr. Preston indicates that he does not wish to call this Bill. House Bill 213, Representative Wojcik. Representative Wojcik indicates that she does not wish to call her Bill. Is there any further business to come before the House? Mr. Vinson."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I doubt that you heard it, but last week Representative Greiman, when he was in the Chair, promised that the...that you would explain today what the schedule is for construction of the new Ladies' restroom, and I wondered if you might fulfill his promise today."
"I can still tell you, Mr. Vinson, that that project is moving along according to schedule."
"Might you explain to us what that schedule is?"
"Well, it is the schedule that requires expeditious treatment of the problem." 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983
"Does it require expeditious construction of the facility?"
"Everything must be done expeditiously."
"When will we know what that schedule might be?"
"As soon as the schedule and final form can be developed."
"When would you expect that the schedule and final form can be developed, Mr. Speaker?"
"Within a reasonable time."
"When do you think it might be appropriate for me to inquire on the subject again?"
"I missed your last question."
"When do you think it might be appropriate for me to inquire about the subject again?"
"At the appropriate time."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope that would be expeditious."
"You're very welcome, Mr. Vinson. Representative Ropp."
"Yes, Sir, Mr. Speaker, not to get involved in this discussion other than the point that construction was mentioned, and I want to raise at least a question for the record involving the brand new construction on the first floor of the Capitol which was apparently a rather costly one. And I was somewhat concerned, because we're involved in a cost-cutting procedure here in the State of Illinois, and to move that candy stand to the tune of something around $50,000, I thought was a major laying of a gold brick."
"Thank you, Mr. Ropp. Is there any further business to come before the House? The Chair recognizes Representative Flinn."
"Mr. Speaker, I'd like to remind the Members of the 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 Financial Institutions Committee. Originally we were posted for three p.m., and that was in error. Our meeting time is four p.m. today."
"Is there any further business to come before the House? The Chair would like to advise all Members that we are quickly approaching the deadline for introduction of Bills and the deadline for submission of requests to the Reference Bureau. The Chair intends to abide by the deadlines as adopted in the rules. If you wish to move legislation during this Session, you should move as expeditiously as possible to get those Bills submitted to the Reference Bureau and then filed with the Clerk. If there is no further business to come before the House, the Chair recognizes Representative Giorgi for the Agreed Resolutions."
"House Resolution 80, Brookins. House Resolution 82, Klemm. House Resolution 85, Hensel. House Resolution 86, Rea - Stuffle - Hannig - Hicks - Winchester. House Resolution 87, Topinka."
"Mr. Giorgi, do you have any further Resolutions?"
"I have these, Your Honor...Mr. Speaker. I have these five."
"You have...you have no further Resolutions?"
"No, Sir."
"For what purpose does Mr. Vinson seek recognition?"
"Was Mr. Giorgi introducing Resolutions or moving for passage of Resolutions?"
"Mr. Giorgi."
"Mr. Speaker, Brookins 80 Resolution notes an annual dinner. 82 by Klemm honors Bernie Epton, the nominee for Mayor of the Republican Party. Hensel's 55 celebrates a 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 60th wedding anniversary. 86 by Rea talks about acid rain. And 87 by Topinka talks about St. Francis of Rome Parish, and I move for the adoption of the Agreed Resolutions."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, I...before that list, I thought there was another list of Resolutions that the Clerk read, one of which...and I just wonder if those were introductions or if they were being moved for passage as well."
"The same Resolutions that I just read the numbers of."
"And then, Mr. Speaker, I wonder if we could take both of those out of the record for one minute while our counsel can consult the Parliamentarian in regard to one Resolution."
"Do you wish Mr. Giorgi to take out of the record the Resolutions that he just read?"
"Yes, for just a minute so that Mr. Webb can consult with Mr. Getty in reference to one Resolution."
"Well, we can stand at ease. Mr. Giorgi...Is Mr. Webb on the floor?"
"Yes, he's...he's looking at it right now."
"Mr. Vinson, we'll change the Order of Business to General Resolutions."
"House Resolution 81, DeJaegher. And House Resolution 84, McGann"
"Committee on Assignment. The Chair recognizes Representative Terzich for the purpose of an announcement. Mr. Terzich has an important announcement concerning the schedule. Mr. Terzich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I wish that we'd keep the noise level down, because this is extremely important, that the Executive Committee scheduled to meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, the time has been changed that we will meet in 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 room - let's see which room are we going to meet? We're going to meet in room 114 at 9 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. So, that's the Executive Committee meeting will be changed tomorrow morning to 9 a.m. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for your kind attention."
"The Chair recognizes Mr. Giorgi on the Order of Agreed Resolutions. Mr. Giorgi."
"Mr. Speaker, I renew my Motion for the passage of the Agreed Resolutions."
"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of the Agreed Resolutions. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed by saying 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The Motion carries. The Resolutions are adopted. Death Resolution."
"House Resolution 83 by Representative Keane and McGann, with respect to the memory of Joseph Newell."
"Representative Giorgi moves for the adoption of the Death Resolution. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', all those opposed by saying 'no'. The Motion carries, the Resolution is adopted. For what purpose does Mr. Ronan seek recognition?"
"Yeah, Mr. Speaker, as Vice Chairman of the Transportation Committee - John Dunn's not here - and I want to move to suspend the rules so that House Bill 79 can be posted or heard today in Committee."
"House Bill 79?"
"Yeah, Mr. Speaker. It was posted twice before, and there are some witnesses who have come a long way in order to testify in favor of this Bill."
"Have you spoken to the Minority Spokesman on the Committee?"
"No, I'll talk to him right now."
"For what purpose does Mr. Vinson seek 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 8, 1983 recognition?"
"I did not hear the Gentleman's response to your question."
"The Gentleman said that he would speak with Mr. Neff right now."
"Fine..."
"If Mr. Neff is on the floor. I don't see Mr. Neff. Is Mr. Neff on the floor?"
"Why don't you have the Gentleman speak with me, Sir? And I would also make the point that former Representative Hallstrom is in the middle aisle and was a fine Member of the General Assembly."
"Mr. Bonan renews his Motion to suspend the posting requirements for House Bill 79. Is there...and the Gentleman moves to suspend the posting requirements to permit House Bill 79 to be heard in the Transportation Committee today. Is there leave? Leave being granted, the posting requirements are suspended to permit the hearing of House Bill 79 in Committee today. Is there any further business to come before the House? The Chair recognizes Representative McPike for the Adjournment Motion."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move that the House stands adjourned until Wednesday, March 9, 1983 at the hour of 12 noon."
