Illinois House Floor Debate — April 5, 1983

"The House will come to order. The House will come to order. The Members shall be in their chairs. Today, we shall be led in prayer by Dr. Rudolph Schultz, Union Baptist Church of Springfield, Illinois. Dr. Schultz is a guest of Representative Michael Curran. Would the guests in the galleries please rise to join with us in the invocation?"

"Shall we pray? Our most gracious Father, we, Your children, face this new day of activities and opportunities. Remember, in Your word, Your port once said to us, 'Unless You build a house, we labor in vain. Unless You help us to keep a city, the watchmen work it but in vain.' With these words Lord, we are willing and asking Thine divine presence in our midst. Make our will, Thy will, so that through our efforts Thy kingdom will come to this earth. Give to us faith to trust Thee for guidance in the decision that we make this day, as we wrestle with the complex problems that confronts us. Keep our minds keen, alert. Season our words with Thy love, so that we may not speak harshly to each other. We may treat others as we des... ask to be treated. Give us special blessings to those who are sick, unable to be with us this day. Bless the leadership of this chamber, and all those who follow him. May You provide His grace and mercy, we pray. Amen."

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

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

"Boll Call for Attendance. Mr. Greiman. Are there any excused absences?" 1  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes. Representatives Shaw, Taylor and Vitek are excused by reason of ab... illness. I wish the record would reflect that, Mr. Speaker."

"Daniels, Davis, and Hoffman, Mr. Speaker."

"Let the record show that those Representatives are excused. Mr. Vinson."

"I would appreciate it, if you would advise the Clerk, to delete Mr. Hoffman, who I understand, his switch is... accidentally on the board."

"Mr. Vinson, I believe that Mr. Hoffman is now recorded as voting 'no', and let the record show that that indicates that Mr. Hoffman is not present... but is excused. Mr. Clerk, take the record. There are 104 Members responding to the Attendance Roll Call. There is a quorum present. Introduction and First Reading."

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I wonder, Mr. Speaker, if you might want to introduce your new Member? I say, I wonder if you might want to introduce your new Member?"

"Well, you've caught me flat-footed once again, Mr. Vinson. Who is the new Member?"

"Well, on the 20... 20th, the 21st, and the 22nd legislative days of the Session, you had a Representative Slap voting in the Journal. And I just thought you might want to introduce Representative Slap."

"Thanks."

"Further inquiries, Mr. Speaker, if you don't want to introduce him. We are now past the Easter recess. We are getting into the busy part of the Session, as I'm sure you would agree.

"Do you anticipate being in such a position tomorrow?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Amendment #1 was adopted in Committee, changed a Section 112-4 of the Criminal Code, and there was ne... necessitated a clean up Amendment. This was Amendment #2. It just removes the portions of the Bill which were... which amended the Section of the duties of the grand jury and the state's attorneys.

April 5, 1983 "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. Amendment #3, as amended, is an Amendment to House Bill 255, as amendment, and what it would do is delete the salary increase for the superintendent of the Cook County Educational Service Region. I think probably a number of you saw the Mike Royko piece that I passed around, which explained basically that this one particular superintendent does a poor job, and is not respected either by newspapers, by superintendents in the region, or by teachers, one of whom has shared with me a letter that he got back from that office. I'm not opposing this man's salary increase because of one newspaper article that was done by Mr. Royko, but I am opposing it because this one particular superintendent of an educational service region does not give service to the teachers or the administrators in his area. Let me share with you a letter from his office to a teacher friend of mine. They had asked for an inservice day, in order to do some career education for their students. Career education to them meant sharing with their students ideas on different job opportunities and different careers in the Chicago Metropolitan area. In previous years, the junior high teachers had discussed a wide variety of Careers. They had looked at aviation careers, at O'Hare Field. They had looked at economics at the Board of Trade. They had looked at journalism at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers and railroading at the Burlington-Northern Yards. On a whim, and for no reason at all, the superintendent of the educational service region, whose salary increase I would like to delete, just said, 'No. No, you can't do that. No, a career awareness day has to take place within a school setting. There's no reason for you to go looking at other kinds of places.' I would like to ask your support for Amendment #3 to House 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 26th Legislative Day Bill 255."

"The Lady moves for the adoption of Amendment #3. Is there any discussion? Mr. Terzich."

"Well, Mr. Speaker. As usual, I... I really don't care for character assassinations, especially on the House floor. Contrary to Repre... the Representative, that I've gotten many good comments of the job of the superintendent of the Cook County. I don't necessarily have to follow newspaper articles to bring up trash, which could be done on any one of us right here, and I certainly oppose this type of an Amendment and would hopefully hope that the people in the General Assembly will vote 'no' on the adoption of Amendment #3."

"Mr. Cullerton."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"The Sponsor indicates that she will yield."

"Representative. As I understand your Amendment, it only applies to Cook County?"

"It only applies to one superintendent. That is correct."

"Okay. So all... if the Bill passed all of the other superintendents would get a pay raise, except for this one."

"That's right. I don't believe that this one deserves one."

"Okay. You want to single out one particular person in the state with this Amendment and not have the... not... notice... your not opposed to the Bill, I understand."

"That's correct."

"If this Amendment passes, you're in favor of the Bill."

"I will vote for it, if this Amendment passes."

"You're in favor of the salary increases for the other 14  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 superintendents, but you don't think that superintendent from your county should get a pay raise?"

"That is correct."

"Fine. Thank you."

"Representative Pullen."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of the Amendment. The officer in question, whose pay raise would be deleted by this Amendment, in response to the interest of the taxpayers, has found as his chief function over the last several years, the mailing of Bozo's circus tickets to superintendents and principals throughout the Cook County. He has become a laughing stock for the entire educational community. It's a real shame, and it is certainly an abrogation of justice if this Amendment does not pass, and this Bill were to pass. Because if there are... is one person in the state who deserves a pay raise even less than Lou Hill, it is Richard Martwick. I urge you to vote 'yes' on this important, very good Amendment."

"Is there any further discussion? There being no further discussion, Representative Nelson to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would earnestly solicit your support for this good Amendment, and I would ask for a Roll Call, Mr. Speaker."

"The question is 'Shall Amendment #3 be adopted?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Representative Terzich, to explain his vote."

"Well,... we'll just take the Roll Call, Mr. Speaker. This is really a terrible Amendment to try to single out one person out of hundreds of superintendents, just because a person... you know doesn't like... the service that he may get from a particular superintendent, doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have a character assassination on 15  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 him. And there's no place for this Amendment in this Bill and I would urge a 'no' vote.

"Mr. McAuliffe, to explain his vote."

"Ar. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would rise and ask for a 'no' vote on this Bill... on this Amendment. I know Superintendent Martwick, and I've gone to him a number of times, and found him to be very competent and very helpful to my constituents, and I see no reason to punish him in this fashion. I'd like to be recorded as voting 'no'."

"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this guestion there are 45 ayes, 58 'nos'. The Amendment fails. Are there further Amendments?"

"No further Amendments."

"May I hold it then, please?"

"Sure. The Bill shall be left on the Order of Second Reading. House Bill 275 shall be left on the Order of Second Reading. House Bill 317. Mr. Jaffe. Do you 16  26th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 wish to call your Bill? Mr. Jaffe. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 317, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Second Reading of the Bill. Amendment #1 was adopted in Committee."

"Are there any Motions?"

"A Motion to table Amendment #1 by Representative Johnson."

"Mr. Johnson. You have filed a Motion to table Amendment #1, House Bill 317, and on that Motion the Chair recognizes Mr. Johnson."

"Amendment #1 is just... #2 though we want to adopt, and this is just simply puts the Bill in order. So I would move to table Amendment #1."

"The Gentlemen moves to table Amendment #1. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye, all those opposed by saying 'no". The 'ayes have it. The Motion carries. The Amendment is tabled. Are there further Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #2."

"I don't care. Aaron can do it. Do you want to do it Aaron? What did he say? Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it, Aaron."

"We don't find Amendment #2."

"I'll do it. We both filed it. I'll do it."

"Amendment #2, Jaffe Johnson, amends House Bill 317, as amended, on page one by deleting line 14 to 16 and so forth."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members. This Amendment removes, I think, any objection to the Bill. It removes the objection of the Department of Public Aid. It's also supported by the Illinois State Bar Association... the Trial Lawyers Association. It simply provides that when... that when there's an excess of funds available, it can be 17  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 distributed to the Department of Public Aid. This meets the objections of Representative Dunn and everybody else to this Bill, and has the agreement of all parties that testified before our Committee at the hearing. It doesn't allow any attorney's fees to be attached to the Department of Public Aid's share. Public Aid gets a free ride. No economic impact.

"Any discussion? Mr. Johnson has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2. There being no discussion OD that question, the question is 'Shall the Amendment be adopted?' All those in favor signify by saying 'aye", all those opposed by saying 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Are there further Amendments?"

"House Bill 21, a Bill for an Act to amend an Act relating to alcoholic liguors. Third Reading of the Bill."

"The Lady from Cook, Representative Topinka."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 21, which Representative O'Connell and I are jointly sponsoring, would allow local communities to have the option of putting a mandatory referendum on the ballot, to allow them to go 'wet' if they would so choose. Obviously, any local community can vote that down if they wish to. It would reduce the number of names necessary for this type of action from 25%, which is currently the law to 5%, which is what we use to run for office, and it strikes me that 5%, if its good enough to run for public office, it's also good enough to have a glass of wine with a meal in a restaurant. It is supported by the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, the Illinois Municipal League, the Hotel and Restaurant Association, and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. It's a good business Bill. It's designed to help suburban communities, especially help keep their restaurants ts in business and their retail food stores in business. I'd appreciate your support."

"Is there any discussion? The Gentleman from 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 Cook, Representative O'Connell."

"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I would simply... second what my colleague, Representative Topinka, has said as to the importance of this Bill. I should point out for the Record that this Bill provides for a reduction in the number of signatures needed for a precinct to go from 'dry' to 'wet'. And by reducing it from 25% to 5%, we feel it will be greatly encourage... development of commerce in the areas that we represent. And we feel that it would do justice to the state of Illinois. We appreciate your positive vote. Thank you."

"The Gentleman from Hardin, Representative Winchester."

"Would the Sponsor yield to a question?"

"She indicates she will yield."

"In the analysis, it says, 'reason for change, HB 21 permits three types of propositions. Prohibiting the sale of liquor in conjunction with the service of food. Prohibiting the sale of package liquor or combination of both.' Could you explain that to me, Representative, in more detail?"

"Representative Topinka."

"Yeah. What it does is that it... it repeals the law that currently would... would allow this to be 'dry'. So it allows it to occur, and basically limits the kind of establishments that would be selling liquor and can give a local community the option and the local liquor commissioner and the zoning laws and all of those things which make up local government, the same options of what exactly will come into a town."

"Thank you."

"The Gentleman from Lake, Representative Pierce."

"Will the Sponsor yield to a question?" 26  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day

"She indicates she will yield."

"Your Bill would require 25% of the voters April 5, 1983 to place a 'dry' proposition on the ballot, but only 5% to sign a petition to go 'wet'. Is that what it does?"

"At... at the law at present is 25%. We are leaving it alone for those who would wish to go from 'wet' to 'dry' and there's a reason for that. Because of possible harassment, which could come to a local business establishment, in a particular set of circumstances. It should be harder to put a business out of business, and it should be easier, considering our economic times, to get a business either into business or keep a business in business."

"Well, each requires the same vote. Do you require a majority vote to go 'wet' or only 3 or 4%? What does it take to go 'wet' on your Bill?"

"I didn't hear the question."

"What would the vote have to be on your Bill? 5 or 6% to go 'wet' and 90% to go 'dry' or what?"

"5% of the population to go 'wet', 25% to go 'dry'."

"No. That's on the petition. How about on the vote?"

"On the vote?"

"... 5% to go 'wet' and 95% to go 'dry'."

"The vote at this point would follow the law as it is now. We're not touching that."

"And what is that?"

"I don't have that right now but it would remain as it is now."

"You would require more 'yes' votes than 'no' votes?"

"Oh, yes. Probably a simple majority."

"...to go either 'dry' or 'wet'."

"That's correct."

"But for the petition, you require the 'dries' to get 25% 27  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 of the vote and the 'wets' to only get 5%. That is peculiar, isn't it? I still don't understand why."

"Again, because... let's... let's use a given situation. Let's say you move in to a home that may be next door to a restaurant, and you have a fight with the owner or you don't happen to like the way he parts his hair. For 5% of the population, you can put that guy out of business, where it might not necessarily be a justifiable cause. And generally speaking, if a local municipality is having trouble with an establishment that serves liquor, your local liquor commissioner has already got an awful lot of power to be able to handle that situation, without going to this type of an extreme."

"Well, I think your Bill does one thing that I like. It lowers the number of signatures to get a proposition on the ballot. It probably in parity and fairness should have done it both ways, because sometimes, their trying to keep an establishment from coming in, not an establishment that's already there from going out. Sometimes you get a nice residential neighborhood, and some marginal character wants to open a tavern for the first time in the history of the precinct, but I think if that happens they can get 25%. So at least you lower the...at least you lower the necessary signatures to go 'wet'. It will still take a majority of vote in either case. Is that right?"

"That's correct. And if I might respond to that Representative Pierce, again, the local liquor commissioner, who is probably the mayor, at this point, already has local ordinances available to himself or to herself, where he would be able to control what kind of a desirable establishment or less than desirable establishment could come in. I think, you know, that local power is given and should be maintained." 28  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day

April 5, 1983 "...I think that makes sense. I think the next step will be 25% of the signatures for a non-incumbent to run for office and 5% for an incumbent to run. But anyway, it's a good trend and I'll support the Bill."

"That may be carrying it to an extreme, but we can discuss that later."

"Is there any further discussion? Now the Lady from Cook to close, Representative Topinka."

"Well, I would just like to seek your support. I think we've discussed all the angles of it."

"The Lady has moved for the passage of House Bill 21. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. The Gentleman from Cook, to explain his vote, Representative Farley."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On the Bill. I rise in opposition of this Bill. I don't think that it is a... makes any sense for a particular precinct, who votes their precinct 'dry' to then be in a position where some unscrupulous owner can change the name on the application for that liquor license, come back, get only 5% of the signatures in that particular precinct to get it back on the ballot. You would have precincts going from 'wet' to 'dry', back from 'dry' to 'wet' every other election. I think that this would be a bad Bill in those cases where the people, the majority of the people, have spoken out in their particular precinct, and stated that they do not want a liquor holder or liquor license to be in that particular precinct. So I would recommend a 'no' vote, Mr. Speaker."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Gentleman from Cook, Representative O'Connell, to explain his vote."

"Mr. Speaker, in explaining my vote, I think one thing should be made clear, that the provisions of this Bill 29  26th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 effects the governing body of a municipality of 200,000 or less. The arguments that have been tendered by my colleague from the city of Chicago may be true as it relates to the city of Chicago, but we have not addressed the city of Chicago in this measure. The Bill is applied to those municipalities that are less than 200,000. We have found it to be extreme difficulty in establishing in our villages, the necessary signatures required to put a Bill, a matter, on a referendum. We are not touching the number of votes needed to pass a measure. We're simply saying that in order to obtain the question, on a ballot, allow us to instead of getting 25% of the signatures, get a mere 5%. The plurality, needed in order to pass a measure, is still as it states in law, and it doesn't affect the city of Chicago. Secondly, the Bill only applies to those establishments that would be sold in a restaurant or a package liquor. We are not applying this to a typical tavern, if you will. We have narrowed the matter down. I would appreciate some reconsideration of your votes."

"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. The Gentleman from DeWitt, Representative..."

"Mr. Speaker, I miss hit my..."

"Representative Vinson."

"Yes."

"Representative Vinson."

"I miss hit my switch, and I would like to vote 'yes'."

"Record Representative Vinson as 'yes.' The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Farley."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker. After the explanation... originally, Mr. O'Connell told me that it affects the city of Chicago. After his explanation, I can see that it does not. I would like to be recorded as 'aye'."

"Representative Farley, 'aye. Representative 30  26th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 Ronan, 'aye'. Mr. Clerk, let's dump this, and take a second Roll Call. The question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?" All those in favor signify by voting 'aye, those opposed vote 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this question, there are 72 'ayes', 27 'nos', 4 voting 'present', and House Bill 21 having received a Constitutional Majority is hereby declared passed. House Eill 36. Representative Cullerton. Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"House Bill 36, a Bill for an Act to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Representative Cullerton."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Bill deals with jurors. The current statute indicates that we can not prohibit the taking of notes by jurors, in both civil and criminal cases. So the purpose of this Bill is to expand upon that slightly, and to say that the sheriff, of the county in which the juror's serving, shall be the one to provide the writing materials for that purpose. And we make it clear that these notes shall be confidential, that they will be destroyed by the sheriff, after the verdict has been rendered or a mistrail declared. So the purpose of this Bill is to define, give a little more flesh to this right of a juror to take notes, to make it clear that these notes will be destroyed after a verdict. Be happy to answer any questions concerning the Bill."

"Is there any discussion? The Gentleman from Lee, Representative Olson."

"Would the Sponsor yield?"

"The Sponsor indicates he will yield."

"Representative Cullerton. Our analysis indicates that the sheriff would furnish the writing materials, rather 31  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 than the Clerk of the Court. Is that correct?"

"Yes. And the reason for that is that the sheriff is the one that's in charge of supervising the jury right now. They're the ones that are there to guard the juror... to guard. They're the ones that would go into the jurors' room, so they're the logical ones to be the person to destroy the notes, and to provide the writing material."

"Okay. The bailiffs would be under the jurisdiction of the sheriff."

"That's correct."

"Thank you."

"No further discussion. The Gentleman from Cook to close, Representative Cullerton."

"I would ask for your favorable vote on this Bill, please."

"The Gentleman has moved for the passage of House Bill 36. All those in favor indicate by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Bill, there are 102 'ayes', 3 'nos'. And House Bill 36 having received a Constitutional Majority is hereby declared passed. House Bill 55. Representative Greiman. Out of the record. House Bill 79. Representative Wolf. Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"House Bill 79, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Representative Wolf."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The... House Bill 79, the substantive change, in this Bill, applies to our current requirement that during daylight hours the operator of a motorcycle must exhibit a lighted lamp, showing a white light visible for some 500 feet in the direction that the 32  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 motorcycle is traveling. This Amendment would permit the use of the headlamp, and would allow for the use of a cue switch, which would automatically modulate the headlamp from low to high. Again, the purpose of this modulation is to make the motorcycle more visible during the daylight hours. The cue switch can not be activated during times when lighted lamps are required by other motor vehicles. The only other changes in this Bill adopt the uniform vehicle codes language for determining when lighted lamps shall be lite. This will bring Illinois into conformity with contiguous states, and most of the other states which have previously adopted the provisions of the uniform vehicle code. There has been some concern, on the part of a few, that the provisions of this Bill would have some effect on epileptics. We have a letter from the Epilepsy Foundation of American, that indicates that the pulsation rate of the modulating lamp, provided for by this Bill, would have a modulation of 4 or less perks per second. They have indicated that it would take at least 10 or more, 10 to 14 pulses per second for it to have any effect on epileptics. The Bill is supported by the Illinois State Police, the Department of Transportation, the American Motorcyclists Association, and the Illinois Motorcycle Dealers Association in the state of Illinois. And I would ask for your concurrence."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton."

"Will the Sponsor yield?

"Indicates he will yield."

"Sam, could you explain how you intend the Bill to operate with respect to the requirements that you have the headlight on one-half hour before sunrise... one-half hour before sunset." 33  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day

April 5, 1983 "Representative Cullerton. This is the portion of the Bill that brings the Illinois Code into conformity with the National Code. And this is the exact language contained in that Code."

"So you need to have your lights on a half hour before Wolf: sunrise and a half hour after sunset." "That's correct."

"No further questions. Thank you."

"The Gentleman from Effingham, Representative Brummer."

"Yes. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates he will yield."

"I'm not sure I understood your explanation. Currently, do you have to have your lights on all the time on a motorcycle?"

"During the day, yes."

"And at night also."

"And at night also, right."

"The... will this change that requirement?"

"No. It won't, it won't... this is permissive Bill. It will permit the motorcycle operator to use the modulated lamp, in other words, going from low to high beam. It's not a requirement that he do so. And at night time he must use the single lamp."

"And during the daytime, he either needs to use the modulating or the single lamp?"

"He can, right."

"Thank you."

"The Lady from Cook, Representative Pullen."

"I'd like to ask a question or two, please."

"The Sponsor indicates he will yield."

"I'm concerned about the part of your Bill that affects the lights on other motor vehicles. According to the 34  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 analysis, I have before me, this changes the times for all motor vehicles to exhibit lighted lamps. Would you, please, explain what the changes and why?"

"Representative Pullen. This is the part of the Bill that was changed to conform to the National Code, and this... this is one of the many changes that the Motor Vehicle Laws Commission is recommending as we go, to put the Illinois Code into conformity with the National Code."

"Would you please explain what that change is?"

"If you'll hold on just a second. Reading from the Bill, states that, 'During the period that all other motor vehicles shall exhibit at least two lighted headlamps, with at least one on each side in front of the vehicle, showing white lights or lights of a yellow or amber tint, during the period from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and any other times when due to insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, persons in vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 1000 feet.'"

"Isn't the current time requirement to be that the lamps shall be lighted at sunset, between sunset and sunrise?"

"From sunset to sunrise. That's correct."

"But this changes it to a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise? Is that correct?"

"That's correct. Again, I say this is changed to make it in conformity with the National Code."

"Who adopted the National Code?"

"I have no idea."

"Why do we want to conform Illinois law to something that appears to me to be less safe then our existing statute?"

"I was probably... in the same way that we adopt a lot of other laws to conform to National Code."

"So there isn't really any good reason. Thank you." 35  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day Speaker April 5, 1983

"Yes, MI. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 169 extends the Law Revision Commission for an additional two years. The Law Revision Commission, in the last Session, submitted approximently 55 Bills, that have been introduced for the spring Session. We have a low budget of approximately 60,000 dollars. During the next coming Session, for the next two years, the inition... the Commission's initiative will be to review the modernation of the Municipal Code, creation a Code of Civil Procedures of 1985, the creation of the Criminal Code of 1985, the creation of the Code of Corrections, and also the Revenue Code. In the past Session, we've also had one of the most significant accomplishments of the Law Revision Commission was the establishment of the Code of Civil Procedures, method by which titles of an act can be shorted. The a 36  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 Commission has operated very, very successfully. We've introduced many pieces of legislation to modernize the statutes, as well as save millions of dollars in introduction of certain Bills, such as the writ Bill, that saved approximately 2 million dollars in the state of Illinois. We've done a good job. We've got commendations from the judiciary and many other agencies, and I would appreciate your support for the continuation of the Law Revision Commission."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is another great piece of legislation for the people of the state of Illinois. And what it does, it amends the Attorney Generals and the State's Attorneys Act, and requires the Attorney General to provide county officials with written opinions upon request. This Bill was heard in Committee, received favorable support from the entire Committee, as well as the Attorney General Office. And 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 what it will do, it will bring to local government added opinions from the Attorney General's Office. What it does, it will provide that any county officer may, after receiving the opinion of the State's Attorney, request the matter in question be submitted to the Attorney General for his or her opinion, within 10 days of receipt of such request, the State's Attorney shall forward such matters to the Attorney General. This in turn would be given back to the State's Attorney in that local unit of government and will provide that county official with the... an additional opinion from the Attorney General's Office. And I would appreciate your favorable support."

"Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Sponsor might yield for a question?"

"He indicates he will yield."

"Representative. On page 1 of your Bill, in Section 4-4, you have language defining a particular set of county officers. Would you tell me which particular county officers are defined to be able to request the opinions from the Attorney General?"

"Any elected officer."

"Does that include any member of a county board?"

"That's correct. Yes, it does."

"Would that include any elected park district board member?"

"No. It would not."

"And, why not?"

"It... I believe that it defines county officials of the governmental agency and not of a park district."

"Well, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen. To the Bill." 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983

"Representative Vinson, on the Bill."

"#1, the Bill's a bad Bill, because the Bill places a county board member in a position superior to a member of the General Assembly. Currently, a Member... an individual Member of the General Assembly does not have the authority to request a states... an Attorney General's opinion and ought not be placed, certainly should not be placed in a position inferior to a county board member. #2, what really happens in the Bill, and if you will examine the Bill I believe you'll see it, the State's Attorneys are being ousted from their role in advising local governmental officials. Currently the statute provides that the State's Attorneys give that advise to the locally elected officials. Under this Bill, the State's Attorneys are ousted, and the Attorney General is placed in their stead. Now, if you believe in local government at all, then you believe that it's appropriate for a local official to give that... that advise, a local official who knows the full circumstances of the situation, and who is familiar with what's going on in front of the local county board or with the local official. If you oust the... the State's Attorney, then you are going to impose a much higher cost on state government. You are going to an official remote from the scene, remote from the facts, and remote from the circumstances. Now I have supported legislation in the past that would permit local officials to hire their own attorneys for this purpose, and have no problem with that kind of legislation. But you ought not interfere with the carefully crafted division of powers between state government and local government. We have carefully crafted that in the Constitution. We have created a constitutional scheme, where the State's Attorney is the legal officer for the county. He ought remain that for very sound reasons, 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 if you believe in local government. If you don't believe in local government, if you believe that everything ought to be run from Springfield, and if you want to impose all the cost in Springfield and all the taxes in Springfield, centralize all the power in Springfield, then by golly, you ought to vote for this Bill. But if you believe in local government, you ought to oppose this Bill, you ought to vote 'no' on it. And if you care about the taxpayers, you ought to vote 'no' on it."

"Further discussion. The Gentleman from Champaign, Representative Johnson."

"Just a couple of neutral questions, Representative Terzich, because I don't have strong feelings about the Bill. First of all, how does Attorney General Hartigan stand on this Bill?"

"The Attorney General has approved the Bill. We adopted Amendment 2, and it has been acceptable with the Attorney General's Office."

"Well, I didn't... I didn't ask whether he... it was acceptable. I want to know if he actively supports its, actively opposes it, or just takes a neutral position."

"I mean if he called me up and said do I act... his lobbyist did approve of the Bill, and I did accept the Amendment from the Attorney General's Office."

"I don't mean... I'm not trying to harrass you with questions, but I respect the Attorney General, and I'm concerned with what his opinion on the Bill is. Does he want have more work imposed on the Department, or doesn't he?"

"He didn't... he didn't ca... call me up and tell me, you know that 'I support it.' I... as I mentioned to you, that I did adopt the Amendment from the Attorney General's Office, and as... from the information I have he has no 40  26th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 objection to the Bill."

"Okay. I guess my second question is, "What is the genesis of this Bill?" I mean from what source, maybe it's just... it's just your idea, but from what... what group wants this Bill passed? Has there been some problem that this directs itself to?"

"Well, the problem is that there are State's Attorneys... that do not provide opinions to the public officials. What the Bill simply does is right now that they shall... shall give his opinion without reward or fee to any county officer in his county. They already do this, however, what this will do, it will require that if a county official wants to have a second opinion from the Attorney General's Office then he could request that and the states attorney would then forward it to the Attorney General's Office, who would then give the... the opinion back to that State's Attorney."

"I guess... I guess what I'm asking is, Can you tell me some specific instances where people are being denied the avail to the Attorney General's Office in the absence of this legislation?' I mean is it... is it an every day problem, or can you give me two or three examples of people who have come to you and said that this is a felt problem among the... among county officers that this Bill address... I know what the Bill does. You explained the Bill very well. I just want know what examples there are of why this Bill is necessary."

"Well, the Illinois Sheriffs Association, you know, is responsible, you know, for the Bill, and all the Bill certainly does is simply provide due process. I... you know, to me this is... nothing more than good government. I don't know what people would be afraid of getting an Attorney General's opinion on any subject matter that may 41  26th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 be a before whether it be before a county board or what have you, that any public official should have this made available to him, and to me its nothing other than due process and good government."

"Okay, well then, to the Bill, and I guess I'm just really raising some question for Members to think about as they vote on this, cause as I say I don't really have strong feelings about it. On a number of occasions, we've had... have had occasion to request, of the Attorney General, Attorney General opinions. I think the Attorney General's Office, both under Attorney General Fahner and Hartigan, do an absolutely superb job in... in managing affairs of that office. I do know, also, that the... that the draws on their time in personnel are substantial. The amount of things - they have special prosecutions, the environmental area, just a whole... consumer protection and so forth, and I'm just concerned about opening the gambit up for Attorney General's opinion to about 75 times the number of officials that it's available to now. In fact, more than that. Any county board member who has some pet project that he wants to burden down an Attorney General's special assistance or an assistant for two weeks to consider is going to be able to do it. I don't disagree that it's good government, but I also am real concerned about what... how well any Attorney General's Office can be able to respond to this... to this problem. And that's the reason I asked about Attorney General Hartigan's opinion, because I think most Members of this chamber on both sides would respect that."

"Further discussion? The Gentleman from Livingston, Representative Ewing."

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. In a time when we are trying to control the growth of 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 government, control the expense of government, this Bill is ill-timed. We should not support any increases in this type of government expension. It allows for many frivolous type of opinions which can now be weeded out. If you don't want to ask your taxpayers for an increase in taxes, vote 'no' on this Bill."

"Further discussion? The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Krska."

"Spea... I move the previous question, Mr. Speaker."

"The Gentleman has moved the previous question. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye, opposed 'no". The ayes' have it. The Motion's carried, and the previous question is put. The Gentleman from Cook to close, Representative Terzich."

"Well, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, House Bill 230, as far as I am concerned, is nothing more than a due process and a good government Bill: that any public official who could not receive a... an opinion from an Attorney General, no - no, that's re... absolutely ridiculous. I did check with the Attorney General's Office. This will not add anything onto the workload. It seems very acceptable to that, and everyone knows that I wouldn't put on an extra burden OD my good friend Neil Hartigan, the Attorney General. But this is a Bill that is necessary for good government. If you are a public official, it simply gives you the opportunity of getting a second Attorney General's opinion. It does, again, go back to the state's attorney, and I am assured that this will not cause any undue burden in the Attorney General's Office. And I would urge your support of House Bill 230, for good government."

"Gentleman has moved for the passage of House Bill 230. All those in favor indicate by voting 'aye", 43  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 opposed vote 'no'. The Lady from Sangamon to explain her vote, Representative Oblinger."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the General Assembly, as a former county officer, when I needed some information that was not available to our state's attorney, I could make a direct request of the Attorney General for that material. I don't see why we need this Bill in order to facilitate that."

"The Gentleman from Fulton to explain his vote, Representative Homer."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen. I feel that a 'no' vote is the correct vote on this Bill for at least three reasons. This legislation, in spite of my respect for the Sponsor and his obvious good intentions, is poor legislation. It's ill advised. It's unworkable, and it would be an unnecessary drain on the taxpayers dollars. First of all, the statutes of the State of Illinois, Chapter 14, placed the duty upon the state's attorney, the legal duty, to represent the county officers. That duty is not upon the Attorney General; and, in fact, the Attorney General does not even have the right to come into court to commence actions or defend actions brought on behalf of or against any county officer. This Bill would have allowed an Attorney General to give conflicting advice, and then he would not even have had the power to... to represent the county official who he has advised. Secondly, the request for Attorney General opinions are not a simple matter. You don't just send off or make a phone call to the Attorney General. They're of a formal nature, and they require the formulation of specific legal issues. That formulation of specific legal issues requires legal training, and that is the reason that we require, at the present time, that the state's attorney write off for those opinions. These 44  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 26th Legislative Day April 5, 1983 opinions, the questions and the answer of the Attorney General are published in formal books and serve as a guidance. They must be in legal form. Thirdly, it has been raised this Bill would cost the taxpayers of the State of Illinois unnecessary dollars. These are local questions that should be decided by the local state's attorney. If he feels that he cannot handle a specific question, he has the right to seek out an Attorney General opinion, but we shouldn't allow that process to be circumvented. It would open the floor gate of demands upon the Attorney General's Office at a time that we're trying to limit the budgetary requirements for all of our offices. So, that is the reason why I vote 'no', and I'm happy to see that others have joined in that sentiment."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Bill, there are 43 voting 'aye', 55 voting 'no'. Representative Terzich, for what purpose do you rise?"

"Well, I did want to explain my vote, Mr. Speaker. Unfortunately..."

"Your light wasn't on, Representative. You may do so. Go ahead."

"Well, you've already taken the roll, Mr. Speaker. I mean..."

"Other's can change their vote, if you care. Go ahead."

"Well, I don't particularly care for some of the misinformation that's being passed out, and this Bill does nothing but require that the state's attorney of that particular local unit of government is required to request, from the Attorney General, an opinion which they can take as much time as they want. And, that Attorney General's opinion is returned back to that state's attorney's office, 45  26th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 5, 1983 and it does nothing but afford people in local government the opportunity to request that Attorney General's opinion. We know that some of the state's attorneys are sort of biased in their opinion and; therefore, they bypass an elected official. And so, if you have any respect for your... any public official of a community that you represent, you would support the Bill. The state's attor... the Attorney General's Office said that it would not cause an undue burden on... on the Attorney General's Office. I don't know where all of these dollar figures are coming from, and I don't see any opposition from the Attorney General's Office. And, if that doesn't get enough votes, then I would like to have it on Postponed Consideration for..."

"Representative Ronan, for what purpose do you rise?"

"Yeah, I want to switch my vote from 'present' to 'aye'."

"Very good. ... vote 'aye'."

"Representative Nelson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. This is a Bill that deletes the limitation which permits the use of photographic evidence, presently, only when the property has been taken from a retail merchant. The Bill has bipartisan support. It is a victia's rights Bill. It specifies two different time periods in which the defendant may file for the retention of the actual physical evidence. So, in fact, it does protect the defendant's rights at the same time that it allows the victim, who has had his property or her property stolen from him or her, to have it returned to them. The first time period is a period of 14 days from arrest for a retail merchant. The second time period provides for all other property that the motion be made within 30 days after the filing of an information or indictment so that the defendant has the assurance that he will, by that time, have a lawyer, and they can make the determination whether or not the actual physical presence of the evidence is necessary. I would ask for your support, and I would be glad to ansver any questions on House Bill 268."

"Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this Bill. I think it's a very good Bill. As an ex-police officer for 14 years, I know that when a victim is deprived of property for a period of time, it can be detrimental. So, I think it's a good Bill, and I rise in support of it."
