"Let us bow our heads in prayer. Gracious Heavenly Father, we acknowledge You as the creator of all of life and of all of the universe. We stand in awe at the mystery, and the majesty and the wonder of the gift You have given us. In so doing, it humbles us. And in that spirit of humility, we know that we must ask Your guidance as we attempt to live the gift of life, to use it to its fullest and to its best. Be with us this day with Your guiding spirit that we may discern that which treats and respects Your creation. We pray in Your name. Amen."

The last sentence of the Subsection 3 is being deleted to clarify what contractual terms remain during the termination notice pericd, and those terms would not clearly limit an agent's ability tc bind cr write new business on behalf of the terminating insurance carrier during the notice period. This Amendment makes changes tc 12  STATE OF IIIINCIS 3RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEFATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 Subsection 4 addressing those concerns that a one-year renewal following termination may be too long.

This Bill allows...well, at the present moment, the downstate system allows teachers who are...survivcrs who retire, who are over 55, to remarry and not lose their pension benefits. This would equalize Chicago teachers with the same kind of benefits and rights. It would make no expansiveness at all beyond that point. The other facet of it is tc allcw for early retirement at 55 without discount or penalty. That is currently the law for downstate teachers, and it makes this an equivalent provision for Chicago teachers. At the present time, the Chicago Ecard is already dealing...allowing teachers who are 50...who are 59 and 60 to exercise those rights in any event. So, it merely brings to those teachers who are 56, 7 and 8 those rights. The teachers, to retire early without discount, would of course have to pay a significant aucunt, probably upwards of $10,000 each if they care to retire early. The cost tc the Board...I might tell you that the Pension laws Commission has revised its cpinion with respect to the cost. It, firstly, so shows that it would be a very small cost to both the system and the pension, but in fact shows that we will save money. We will save money, because when a teacher who retires whose making $27,000 retires, she or 18  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 he is normally replaced by a teacher with...making from $13 to $17,000, so that there is a significant savings. It is a fair Bill. It is one of the few pension Bills, probably, that we will save money on for the system and for the Board. And so, I ask for its adoption. Thank ycu."

"The Gentleman moves for the passage of House Bill 55. 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 'nc'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Stuffle to explain his vote."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. What the Bill does is just as described by Representative Greiman. It's an extension to Chicago teachers with the same provisions under the early retirement system that we have downstate. It would mean a savings to the school system there, a substantial savings, with early retirement. If you take a person who makes $26,000 a year, for example, let them leave two years early. The funded cost to the system is about $9,000 to buy them out, and you can save nearly $40,000 over a life of only four years of replacing that person with an entry age and entry level cost for a new salary. It's an excellent Bill in terms of saving money for the overall school system. It does not have an adverse disadvantage or selection against the system over a period of time, because you're replacing people at less money."

"House Fill 257, a Bill for an Act to amend the Child Passenger Restraint Act. Third Reading of the Pill."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Bill amends the Child Fassenger Restraint Act. This is a Fill that was passed last year. In amendatory message...amendatcry vetc, the Governor provided that...for any first offense in violating the Child Passenger Restraint Act, that a warning ticket had to be issued. We felt, cf course, that that is a very gccd idea to issue warning tickets to give a person a first chance. The problem is that only the Illincis State Ircopers and a very few municipalities have warning tickets. The cther municipalities do not have warning tickets. Cf course, discretion is used by all pclice officers in determining whether ΟΙ not they want to issue a citation. The Municipal League indicates to ME that if...if it is construed that warning ti tickets have to be given, then we are imposing a tremendously costly procedure ch local municipalities. And it's for that reason that the Chicago Police Department and other police departments asked me to 20  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFFESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 propose this Bill, which eliminates that issuance of a warning citation. And existing law, however, provides that if a first viclation...a citation is given to someone for their first viclation, that all they have to do is show proof of possession of a car seat, and then the fine would be waived. So, the purpose of this Bill is to either do one of two things. Either to make the current Child Passenger Restraint Act enforceable by municipalities, or to avoid those municipalities having to add the additional cost of imposing a system of warning tickets. I might also point out that we have a problem with a warning ticket in the Secretary of State's Office the Secretary of State is in support of this legislation in that they...their computers can pick up offenses if it's a conviction. They can't pick up the warning ticket. So, that is the purpose of the Bill. I'd be happy to answer any questions."

"The Gentleman moves for the passage of House Bill 257. And the Chair recognizes Mr. Harris."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield for a question?"

"The Sponsor indicates that he will yield."

"How is 257 different from HB 1, which was passed last week?"

"House Bill 1 created a new Act, a Child Passenger Protection Act, and abolished the Child Passenger Restraint Act. Now, if the Child Passenger Protection Act does not pass or say was vetoed, then we would still be in need of this Bill, because the Child Passenger Restraint Act would be the law, and we would be still stuck with this problem of not being able to enforce the law, because there's no warning citations used by most municipalities. And so, it's a back-up, if you will, to the House Bill 1. And if for some reason House Bill 1 is not passed or if it's 21  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 vetoed, we would still be in need of this Bill."

"Is your intent, if HE 1 does pass, to simply not push this Bill?"

"Right. This Bill would not be needed. That's why it comes after House Bill 1. And I might point out that House Bill 1 did the same thing. House Bill 1 that we passed out of here overwhelmingly, 83 to 23, last week, does the same thing that this Bill does. It just amends a different Act which is already in existence."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"Mr. Brummer."

"Will the Sponsor yield? I know by House Amendment #1 that you changed 'proof of purchase' to 'possession of an approved child passenger restraint system'."

"That's correct."

"The...does that mean possession only in the court room?"

"No. Proof that you are now in possession of a car seat. The theory there was..."

"I understand the theory. I think in order to at least clarify the legislative intent, you ought to recite on the record, you know, what you mean by possession, and I assume you mean possession over a lengthier period of time for use by the...by the possessor or the child."

"Well, that's right, and the law says, 'Instead of paying the fine, an individual convicted of violating this Act may present proof of purchase of an approved child restraint system. Now, that could be the actual car seat, or it could be a rental agreement from a loan program, or it could be...'"

"Now, wait a minute."

"...Or it could be a bill of sale."

"Well, was Amendment #1 adopted? Amendment #1 22  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 eliminated that language and substituted language regarding possession, I think."

"Amendment #1 struck the word 'purchase' and inserted the word 'possession'. So I'm changing it from 'proof of purchase' to 'proof of possession'."

"Yes, and my question, to clear up the issue of how long is...is to ask you how long that person needs to be in possession of that child restrain system in order to satisfy the provisions of this Bill."

"They would have to show that as the...on the date of the court appearance in court, that they are on that date in possession of a car seat."

"Mr. Johnson."

"I get...what you're saying is, Representative Cullerton, aside from the option of bringing a child restraint device into court, that police officers will no longer be permitted to issue a warning ticket, that they'll give them a regular ticket with a regular fine and normal sanctions. Is that right?"

"Mr. Speaker, I didn't know the Gentleman was asking me a question, and I would ask that he repeat it."

"My question is, after this Bill is passed, if it is, that police officers will be required to issue tickets, citations, as opposed to a warning ticket for a first offense."

"No, that's not..."

"Okay, well tell me where I'm wrong then."

"The State Troopers have a system of issuing warning citations. They can still issue warning citations for a first offense, just as they can for any traffic offense. The municipalities that don't have a warning ticket obviously cannot issue one. And so the purpose of this Bill is to allow for those municipalities that don't have a 23  STATE OF IIIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 warning ticket not be required to issue one. It doesn't make any sense to require them to issue one when they're not Johnsen: able to do so. Otherwise, they would either have to never be able to enforce the law, or they would have to initiate this costly procedure of initiating a warning ticket system." "You know, we've debated this subject from the...five years ago when they got six votes, and they got 171 'no' votes, to now where we've carried our... the fact that it has effective lobbyists at a place where we've passed absurd legislation that absolutely interferes with the right cf a family to determine what is best for their family, and to make criminals out cf mothers whc breast feed their children or ones who can't afford devices. But what really kind of irks me a little about this legislation is that ever since the Bill was first intrcduced by Representative Dyer and has subsequently been introduced by Representative Cullerton and others, the constant call we've heard from the supporters of this is, 'We're nct really trying to fine the offenders. We're not really trying to make criminals cut cf mcthers or fathers who don't comply with...with this ridiculcus law. But what we really want to do is just to warn them that they re wrong.' And they always cite Tennessee and cther states who traditionally use a warning device where you write out a warning ticket cr simply give an oral warning to the offender, so you can impress upon the family how serious it is that they're not in compliance with this life safety mechanism. But now we've really gene full circuit. We said that at least in those municipalities and thcse areas of the state where warning tickets aren't the current policy, that they have to be issued a citation and that in the absence of their bringing in a froof that they have a 24  STATE OF ILIINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFFESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 device, a safety restraint device that mcst of them probably can't afford to begin with cr they wouldn't have it there. That in the absence of that, they're going to have to pay a fine. They are a criminal. They are going to be issued a citation, and it really seems to go...fly in the face of the whole purpose of this legislation, which was, as I understood it, to impress on the public the seriousness and the wisdom of purchasing and using these kinds of devices. I don't really think it's a philosophical matter any more. It's just purely a matter of imposing upon families, in many cases, unable to afford it, and in other cases, who don't think it's a proper domain of the state tc have gone the last step and that is to say, 'No warnings anymore. We're not going to want to be like Tennessee cr the other states that have simply adopted a system where you can impress on the psyche of the people how important this is, but we're going to give them a fine anyway. I would suggest tc the Chicago Police Department or other departments that there's other avenues than issuing a $25 or $50 traffic citation and give an oral warning. I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to establish some kind of a form - since they have a form for anything else - where you can issue warning tickets. And the bottom line is, we're going to turn mothers and families into criminals where the government doesn't belong to begin with."

"Mr. 50pp."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. In regards to this Bill, I think I've probably received more suffort on my 'no' vote on this last week than Bills in recent time. The question being, I think, is that many people that this will be forced upon ncw will, in fact really not have sufficient money now to go ahead and buy one, or rent one 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMELY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 or whatever they are going to do. And the next proposal that will be coming through for this Ecdy's approval is to subsidize a $25 or a $50 per family car seat for infants of this age. I am certainly one who supperts tender, loving care for kids and making sure that they don't get involved in severe accidents, but when we actually go so far as to mandate that people shall actually have a car seat in their car, I think we've really overstepped our bounds. The other thing is that I'm not sure that I... well, the fact is that I've got several people in my area that have sizable family, and with a car seat, they just won't even be able to get everybody in the car to go to church. The final thing is, I think it would be even a better Bill if, in fact, it would have amended the fact that it would encourage service agencies, churches, etcetera, to have lcan-out car seats rather than tc get the individual involved in having to buy one. I am sure a lot of people in, maybe even in your district, will be wanting the state now to come out and to give them a car seat. And I would totally urge the Body to take strong consideration cr that and vote 'no' on this Fil1."

"MI. Cullerton to close."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Perhaps I can clear up some misunderstandings that have been raised by some opponents to the Bill. First of all, this does nct wake criminals out of mcthers any more than it makes...than a law that says you should have a vehicle sticker on your car makes a criminal out of someone who doesn't have a vehicle sticker. Now, I hope the Representatives who spoke to try to kill the Bill would concede me that. This is nct a criminal offense. We're talking about a petty cffense for which ycu can't go to jail. You just...issued a fine. The second 26  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TEANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 point to be made is that we're not taking away the warning ticket system that is used by Illincis Troopers and by a few municipalities. They can still issue warning tickets. And police officers throughout the state are still gcing to use their discretion as to whether cr nct they are going to give someone a ticket, just the way they give discretion now as to whether or not they should fine somebody or cite somebody for speeding. And furthermore, to reiterate one more time about the cost. You have to own the car for this law to apply. It has to be your child, and it has to be your car. Now if you can cun the car, then you can own a car seat. That's what the thecry is. But if for some reason you can't afford $35 per car seat - the cost of filling up your car twice - then you can rent a car seat. There's over 65 rental programs and loan programs in the State of Illincis. It costs...in my area, you can lcan a car seat, bor...rent a car seat for $10. Now, no one's ever asked, that I know of, for a free car seat, because they couldn't afford the $10. But if they did, I am sure that that could be loaned to them for nothing. So, this is...this Bill, however, this discussion, probably is on the broader subject of the car seat Eill and nct on this specific limited point. The...the law, as it stands now, says that you have to issue a warning ticket. Folice officers in most municipalities don't have warning tickets. So either we're going to require them to get warning tickets, which are very expensive, or the Fill cannot be enforced by those municipalities. And that to me is absurd. That's the purpose of the Eill. I think it's very clear that it's needed, and I would ask for your support."

Right now, we have no area that we can adequately turn to, and since this Bill had...a similar Bill had passed unanimously last Session and was caught up in the Calendar of the Senate, I am reintroducing this Bill to assist us to give some measure of protection for those that are non-coal mining. I want to make it clear that the intent of this Bill is not to use the federal funds set aside for the use for coal mining, and I want to use that as the intent. But in talking to the lobbyists for one of the coal mining organizations, they felt that because of the extreme danger that may be involved, that they had no opposition to that point, and I do ask for your affirmative vote on House Bill 293."

"It's it strange that they...isn't it strange that they wouldn't have taken a positior on this Bill? Doesn't it directly affect them?"

"I don't know why they didn't. Because it affects the Council and not the Department. Maybe that's the reason why they didn't take a position. I did offer the Amendments to correct any questions that the Committee had made."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Hannig."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield for questions?"

"The Sponsor indicates that he will yield."

"Yes, why is it necessary that we should use the Abandoned Lines... Mines Reclamation Council to basically try to recover lands that are non-ccal mine lands. Is there nct some cther agency that'd be acre appropriate?"

"Well, the reason that crganization or council was selected, because it was already in place, because it does the very same thing for the coal mining lands. It was felt by me that there was no sense in going to the cost of establishing a new Commission or a new organization when it's already in place. And since it's only to be used in the extreme danger type of thing, it's not going to be 31  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION LEBATE there to reclaim any abandoned coal cr non-ccal mining areas." April 13, 1983

"Would the passage of this Fill in any way take away monies that could be available to reclaim ccal prcjects, for example?"

"Alright, as I indicated in the initial presentation, that only under an extreme danger the Council could, perhaps, put maybe a fence around a pit that's going to keep some child from falling in it. I did make it as the intent of this Bill is that it's not to be used just to rehabilitate or a reclamation of an abandoned pit, and that's not my intent now. And I want to go on record again to reiterate that."

"It...Are you saying that the Council, though, could use monies that would ctherwise be available for ccal reclamation projects if they dee, that then would be necessary?"

"Well, I don't think they can, because that is federal monies, and there are a great deal cf restrictions that can be done. However, I would think that if, for extrems emergency nature, that if the Federal Government would allow them to do it, that yes, they possibly cculd. But it has...and it's very limited. And when the Committee asked me these questions and suggested scue Amendments that I did offer, Amerdments 1 and 2, to clarify that very question that you have, that I did offer them, and they have been adopted and are in fact part of this Bill."

"The analysis that I have says that it would mandate the Department to give such non-coal mine reclamaticns a high priority. Would that not indicate that it could, in many cases for example, take away frcu the Department's financial ability to reclaim coal lands?"

"Well, that is not what the Fill says, and I would say 32  STATE OF ILLINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CEPATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 that your analysis on that part is wrong. It does not mandate them, and it does not give it at a high pricrity."

"Thank you."

"Mr. McMaster."

"will the Sponsor yield?"

"The Sponser indicates that he will yield."

"ΜΕ. Klemm, I guess my concern is with the use we are making of federal funds, which are funneled... derived from coal mining purposes and then funneled back to the states based upon the amount of ccal wined within each state, I believe, is where we get the money back into the abandoned wine lands fund. Can we really spend this federal money for reclamation cut...o .or protection outside of coal mine lands? This is what my concern is.. Will we run into trouble with the Feds saying we're improperly using it?"

"The Council has indicated to me that certainly they would not spend any monies of federal monies that were set aside for the coal if they could act do that. But we have no mechanism right now even established in the State of Illincis to offer any sense of protection. If in fact this Fill is passed, at least we would have a Council established already that could look into the situation. Perhaps we'll find some money someplace. I don't know, but at least we have that mechanism in place. If they find out that they possibly could use a token amount of the money to save a few lives, as has happened where a loss of lives in some of the abandoned pits, then yes, I guess they would vote to do that. The Council has that determination. I understand, however, that there are not federal funds available for it."

"Well, I guess you're talking around the guestion, Dick. I'm still concerned about what the federal people are going to say if we pass this law, and if indeed we dc 33  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 make use of it. You say that the Abandonded Mine Lands Council will not use the funds if the federal law dces not permit it. I would guess that your intent with this legislation would be to fence, for instance, gravel or rock guarries. Is this what your intent is?"

"Well, only if it were to serve to save a life, because it would have... But not just to go out and discriminately and put fences arcund..."

"Yeah, but...but...".

"Gentleman, could we discontinue the conversation back and forth? Questions and answers, please."

"Maybe 90% of all the gravel pits are...or 99% would never be affected by it, but I certainly think that if, in case there is that pit that is abandoned and left to the nature, and there is no cooperation by anybody, then at least the state can come in and at least do something to keep and remove that extreme danger. And if it's not using federal funds - and I'm not even quarreling with that - at least we should have some Council that we could go to. This is what that Bill would be creating."

"Well, I certainly would agree with you on the protection of lives, Dick. I am concerned that the money that is derived from coal mining would be going to protection of, for instance, gravel pits or stone quarries. I think that those gravel quarries and stone quarries should be responsible for protecting the areas that they leave. And I do believe that current law requires them to. And I do know that there are cases where, for instance, a hole from erosion will develop under a fence, and I don't know if this is where the lives or how the lives are lost up in that area or not, Dick, but I am concerned about the use of federal money for... derived from a source such as 34  29th Legislative Day STATE OF IIIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 coal being used for other purposes such as gravel or stone quarries."

"Well, I certainly understand, and that's the reason I wanted to make it as my intent. That is not the purpose for that. There were the similar questions in Committee. That's the reason I did offer the two Amendments to say...to alleviate those fears, and I think I've successfully done it with those Amendments."

"Thank you.."

"Mr. Hicks."

"Yes, does the Sponsor yield?"

"The Sponsor indicates that he will yield."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I applaud what the Gentleman is attempting to do with the Bill except for the fact that I feel the intent of opening up this fund for more ways of taking dollars out of it. The intent of taking a small amount is fine, but the people who put the money into this fund was the coal mines. They've paid for it all the way through. There are many thousands of acres out here which have not been reclaimed due to the fact that the Reclamation laws were not into effect when the coal mining industry first started. Rather than taking dollars out of this fund for other sources and other things to do with it, I would think that we have plenty of land that is...is coal land which could be reclaimed itself rather than locking for other ways of taking dollars out of this fund. I would ask the Assembly to vote 'no' on this issue and...for the purpose of what the intent is on it. Thank you."

"Mr. Flinn."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I am...reluctantly rise to oppose the Bill. The purposes for which the Gentleman said the 35  29th Legislative Day STATE OF IIIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 money would be used out of the reclamation fund is a very noble purpose. But the money wasn't set aside for that. The money was set aside for...exclusively for reclaiming mined out land. Now, as soon as we break the precedent and start tapping the fund for whatever noble purpose it be, it becomes a very attractive fund to attack it for some cther purpose. Now if we set it aside for one purpose, we tax the coal mines for so much per ton of ccal they produce tc build a fund tc reclaim land, then that's what it should go for and nothing else, regardless how noble a purpose. So I oppose the Fill."

"Mr. Klemm to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and ladies and Gentlemen of the House. You know, there's no intention in this Fill tc try to deplete the funds set aside that were to be used for coal, and I tried to make that clear both in Committee and both here сп the floor of the House. But it seems to me there has to be some compassion, at least, of trying tc resolve a problem that has and does exist. We all, I think, are aware that the statutes now prevent abandoned gravel mining to be not reclaimed. The laws say that it must, and we do have the Reclamation Act, and we certainly all support that. Put We do have, on occasion, some abandoned pits that certainly are in a dangerous area. I happen to kncw that for a fact, because in my area I had some children lcse their lives. It was just a matter of perhaps putting a gate or a chain across something. They were absentee cwners. Nobody could dc a thing. In talking with one of the lobbyists from the ccal industry after the Committee, they even agree. They said they could understand where it could be necessary, and they have no cpposition た。 that, provided that is for what it is used for, the extreme danger. In Committee, the people and 36  STATE OF IIIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 Committee Members had asked that same guestion. Amendments were added to make that very clear. I think I answered those questions. I think it is a fair, honest way cf at least approaching the problem without creating more bureaucracy and without depleting anybody's funds. I do ask your strong consideration in this particular case and vote affirmatively on 293. Thank you."

Anyway, House Bill 302 provides for an cmission in the authority of the Department of Conservation, so that they right now be able to lease lands and purchase lands... which are historical structures on the state and federal list. So, it is limited in its scope. The background for all of this is that many of these structures do indeed provide a potential focal point for business development in local areas.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 307 would repeal the prohibition on insurance related companies from being able tc make campaign contributions. Ic give you some background, ir years passed, there have been a number of different groups - banks, currency exchanges, liguor licensees, what have you - that have, for one reason or ancther, been restricted from making such contributions. Cver the years, all such prohibitions have been removed with the now single exceptions of racetracks and insurance companies. I don't know why, but those two are the two remaining. This Bill would remove that prohibition against insurance companies. Presently, the Bill, while it sounds all-inclusive, really is not that way. There are about 150 small ccunty and township mutuals that do a lot of farm insurance. They are not covered under this Bill, neither are the very large companies. They usually work through parent companies, and as such, are not covered. A gccd example would be Allstate, which falls under the Sears category. This Bill would, more or less, remove the prchibition against the medium size companies, and I ask fcr ycur 'aye' vote. I would say that it passed out of this House successfully last year, but got stalled in the Senate."

One is it makes some supplemental in transfer appropriations for the Department of Mental Health, so that they can get through the end of the year, and it's fairly routine, as far as I know. The second Amendment... the second part of the Amendment makes several cuts in the amount of money that we're going to put into the various retirement systems. Now I want to emphasize that we're going to put even with this something like $260,000,000.00 into the retirement system. We're not taking a dime out. We're putting money in. The question is, how much money are we going to put in, if this Amendment passes and then the Bill... if this Amendment is adopted and then the Bill passes? We will be, at that point, dealing in good faith, it seems to me. I'll be glad to answer questions - go into however much detail the Membership wants. I would offer... Floor Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 177."

"Would the Gentlemen yield?"

"The Sponscr indicates that he will yield."

"Representative Reilly, only because I haven't had a chance to lock at this Amendment yet, and it is fairly lengthy. I naturally wanted to lock to see how it impacts on my Waukegan Developmental Center, and it doesn't impact that much. I think we lose only about $20,000.00 in this transfer that you're trying to maneuver here. But as I look at some other facilities, for example, I think Howe loses... no Howe gains some here, but some lose. And what I found though as I thumb through the pages, that although we may lose in the transfer, Shapirc - which just happens to be where the Lieutenant Governor resides - gains a million dollars in this transfer. And I want to let you know that in my area, in Waukegan Developmental Center - because this Bill has to do a lot with the closing of Dixon - what's happening that many of the employees at Dixon are coming to my Waukegan Developmental Center because of their seniority and bumping some people that lived in my district virtually all of their lives. Yet, my Waukegan Developmental Center is losing some funds here. I don't want to vote for something that I think it very possibly could be... be putting monies in transfer to Shapiro because somebody's got some political clout. And yet my area, just because it's the Waukegan Developmental Center, and just because of Dixon, is being burt by it. Now I notice that many of the centers, for example, because of this dipping into the pension fund, are losing cut of the state's contribution to the pension system. Yet in Shapiro, they're making quite a substantial addition to the contribution of the pension system in that particular area. So, could you explain that part of it to me? I... I'd like 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION [FEATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 to explain how come Shapiro does pretty well on this fill, on this transfer, where the rest of us don't fair cut toc well."

"Dixon is not the only center that fairs well. There's a pattern that..."

"No, I meant Shapiro. Shapirc fairs well."

"Shapiro, I mean. Shapiro is not the only one that dces, there is a pattern to this which is consistent with what they've been doing in terms of the closing of Cixen all along. As patients are transferred, Shapiro is one of the receiving facilities. As patients are transferred, the staff and the funding for the staff has to move with them. And all... that's all that's going CE. Nothing, I might add, is being taken away from the institutions that are having cuts. The cuts, as you understand, Representative Matijevich, are in retirement. The acney is simply being gathered together for the other institutions to reflect the rovement and the anticipated movement through the end cf the fiscal year of patients from lixon. And the various other institutions are gaining, including Shapiro, in ta proportion to the transfers that have occurred and are going to occur this fiscal year from Dixon."

"Well, for example,... and I haven't... where is Jacksonville? Where is your agency? Cn what page is that? I'd like to compare, for example, how you might fair."

"We had... i don't know if... if Jacksonville is even... even in here che way or the other are not. I can tell you the situation with regard to Jacksonville. We were che of the receiving facilities, and we got a considerable boost in employment earlier in the year. All the transfers that are going to be made to Jacksonville have already been made. ...The answer is, we're losing a $130,000.00.1

"Can you explain to me why on page 125, Shapiro in 43  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION LERATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 this... we're not talking about the sccial... the pension system. We're talking about personal services. You have 20,700,000.00 as opposed to what is presently in the law, 19,700,000.00. That's an increase in a million dollars at Shapiro. Nou, I don't know why the rest cf US cught tc take a few cents cut when Shapiro gets a $1,000,000.00 increase. That... that's what I'm concerned abcut. That's...that's personal services. That's not the pension system we're talking about. We're talking..."

"No, I indicated that the receiving... Shapirc is not the only one that is gaining. But as patients are transferred, of course, there is going to be an increase in personal services, because they have tc have increased staff at the receiving institutions to reflect the transfers. There is nothing... there is nothing new about that. Staff is telling me that there was also one of the buildings that they thought they were going tc be able tc use at Chicago-Read. The Dirsel Building is at... that ccrrect? And some of those transfers are... It turns out they can't. And some of those transfers are affected here alsc. But again, Shapiro is not the only institution that's gaining. All the institutions that are still receiving patients as transfers from Dixon are all gaining."

"Are you kidding? There's nochody getting anymore, I don't think, than Waukegan Developmental Center, and we're losing 20,000.00 bucks, I think. I... you know I went it over very, very guickly. I don't know if anybody is being impacted more by the closing cf Dixon than Waukegan Developmental Center. And I sure don't see any extra dcllars here for Waukegan."

"The guestion..."

"You know, I think what you Members ought to dc, you ought to lock at how this impacts cn your district, if you 44  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBIY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEFATE April 13, 1983 really want to get political about it. And wonder how...why it is that Shapiro makes cut like a bandit, that when my district that is really being impacted gets a cut. Now, I want the Governor or anybody else to answer that. You don't even have a director at the Department of Mental Health today, virtually. And yet, somebody is making a decisions, And I'm sure it's Mandeville again making those decisions that knows nothing about what's happening cut in the field."

"Again, Representative Matijevich, we can of course make every issue into a political one between us and Lieutenant Governor or whoever. The fact is, Shapiro is not the only one that's gaining. The fact is that the staffing pattern and the transfer patterns are being carried out according to the plan that was been set cut. Those institutions that are receiving patients are gaining staff. Whether there is new money in for any particular institution, even the receiving ones, depends on when the... where we are in the transfer process. Again, Jacksonville, my own, gained a great deal early in the year because of the transfers. We're gaining nothing in this Bill. The reason is because the transfers have already occurred. Other institutions are still gaining or are going to gain, because the transfers are yet to come. There's nothing surreptitious about this, and as a final comment is...as final response to your question, no, we all want to look at this in terms of our own district. The fact is, nobody's district is being hurt by this Amendment, because there are no funds that were going to be spent anyway being taken away from any institution. This...the Department has been on this essential spending plan for quite a while. The... nothing is changing except that we're... we're in...making the ending balances of the various institutions end up as they 45  STATE OF ILIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 29th legislative Day should."

"Well, I don't want to belator the point, but when I'm... but when you're talking about a total of $4,000,000.00 in a supplemental, and when I lock at what's happening at Dixon, and then when I find out what...what institutions are being impacted by the closing of Dixon, I'm not saying one should put their vote on this bcard in a political way. Eut I just wonder if somebody has nct, in finalizing this Bill, may have not looked at some politics in effect. So, therefore, I'd like tc vcte for this Amendment, because I know we're up a tree. But frankly, I have to protect what's happened at Waukegan. We have been devastated by the cuts. We have been devastated by the closing of Dixen. It hasn't been, I think, handled in a professional way. And I can't see how I can vote for something that really hurts my area. They have not been treated properly."

"Mr. Mautino."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Before I have some questions to raise to the Sponsor, I would like to crpose a parliamentary inquiry to the Speaker, as it pertains to a separation of a question. Since the supplemental appropriation for the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, in my estimation, is totally removed from the pension question as it pertains to the funding levels. And on that part of parliamentary inquiry, I'd like to address the Speaker cn the separation of the question."

"Mr. Mautino. Mr. Kautino, I don't think we understood your question. Are you asking if there cculâ be a division of the question?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Mautino, maybe you could amplify a bit cn 46  STATE OF IILINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day your reguest for Farliamentarian." April 13, 1983 a division for the benefit of the

"Well, first and foremost, when the Governcr's proposal was to close the Dixon Developmental Center, Fepresentative Ebbesen, Clson, myself and Representative Schunenan, at that time, opposed the initial provisions. The ultimate savings on that proposal as presented by the Governor was approximate $6,000,000.00. To this date, we're now locking at about $22,000,000.00 in expenses, and I consider it be tc a boondoggle. I feel that since we are addressing the question of both pensions and a supplemental appropriation, there should be a division of that Arendment. And that is my concern."

"The Gentlemen could move tc... to divide every separate appropriation contained in an appropriation Bill, but could not separate cut a topic under consideration."

"Thank you, Fr. Farliamentarian. On that question, and I find myself on a very precarious situation, Representative Reilly. I know full well that about $3,000,000.00 goes to the Dixon Developmental Center. At the same time, I also know that many of the contractual services for psychiatrists and psychologists hold 30-hour weeks at $51,000 and $48,000. I am alsc concerned that since we've been laying a lot of peaple off at Dixon and the transferability and the program for the transfer ability is nct completed nor has really been presented to Members of the General Assembly. And currently, the fact that we don't have a Director of Mental Health and Developrental Disabilities, I would like to kncw how you are going to spend the three in a half million dollars at Dixon, number one, and number tuc, make a statement that I see nothing but a total boondoggle coming cut of the 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBIY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CERATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 closure of that facility and a tranferring of those clients, if possible, because beds are not available to other facilities. I have the same concern that John Matijevich has."

"Ar. Feilly."

"As a general comment, if somebody expects me to stand up and say that the Department of Mental Health has now or at anytime during the time I've known ther, done a gccd and effective job of anything, I am not going to stand up and say that. If you're saying they've blown it, I agree with you. Unfortunately, for better, for Horse, We find ourselves where we are. Iet me confer with staff one second to get the answer to how the three in a half million is going to be spent."

"Mr. Mautino, have you finished?"

"I'm waiting for a response, Mr. Speaker."

"Representative Mautino, I don't know if this answer'll ...will exactly satisfy you. It is 3,8 million in new money for Dixon. That's substantially all the new money, despite the earlier dialogue, that goes to Lixon. And... and the spending is acICSS the bcard. I mean, it's personal services, contractual, maintenance, the whole works. Basically, based on the fact that, as you indicated, they make glowing promises. They'd have it close down by EPS, and they haven't been able to keep those promises. To keep it open and operating through the end of the fiscal year, they've got to have the additional money."

"Well, that's the dilemma I find myself in. I know the three and a balf million is needed because of the boondoggle that has occurred up there. At the same time, I don't particularly care to support the transferability as it pertains to the pension funds of the employees of the State of Illincis. And that was my reguest for a division cf 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION [FEATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 of the question. And in that regard, as a Member who still has part of those employees in that facility in my legislative district, I find it very difficult to support the Amendment as presented. I think the Governor is remiss and, basically, did not tell the truth on this so-called savings that he projected from that facility. I think we are now seeing the end result of a complete mess. And with my feelings on both ends of that Bill, I'm sorry that I cannot support the Amendment #1."

"Representative Levin."

"Would the Gentlemen yield?"

"The Sponsor indicates that he will yield."

"Is any of this money going to go to Region 2 to replace the 6% cut that has been made in Region 2 or to rehire any of the... rather substantial number of staff, I think, amounting to about 85% of the staff in the city of Chicago that's been laid off?"

"The answer is no."

"So this does absolutely nothing for any part of Region 2?"

"It does for Region 2. It does but... but only for facility budgets, which we are not talking about. I understand that Representative McGann intends to offer an Amendment that would increase community funding. I intend to support that Amendment."

"But this Amendment doesn't do anything you see. His Amendment does. But your Amendment doesn't do anything for Region 2 in the kind of facilities I'm talking about."

"Well, if you ignore the facilities. If you ignore the institutions, they get... they give money. That's...the Bill deals with institutions, not only in Region 2, but all over. Region 2 gets some more money for its institutions. It doesn't get anymore money for community anymore than any 49  STATE OF ILIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CEFATE April 13, 1983 29th Legislative Cay cther Region dces."

"Ic you know why, when it came to time to make the cuts, there were virtually no cuts in any cther Region, but there was a 6% in Region 2? I've been trying to get an answer to why for about the last 4 or 5 months, and i've yet to get any kind of answer that makes any sense."

"And the answer is, it's not true. The other Region... all the Regions took, as I view the matter, approximately the same cut. The difference was, the cther Regions were willing to sit down... the community people in the other Regions were willing to sit down with the Department and work out where those cuts would come. And the cuts came in areas in the other Begions where they weren't going to hurt the community facilities. The community agencies in Region 2 said, 'We aren't going to sit down with you. There are no cuts that are acceptable to us.' Sc the Department then went ahead and made the cuts on its own, and those cuts ended up hurting. Eut what ...the ascunt get cut in each Region was roughly proportional. In the cther Regions, they wou would cut, for example, new projects that hadn't started yet. Sc in a sense, that didn't hurt anybody. They would cut increases that were due to take effect this calendar year, but hadn't taken effect yet. Eut the cuts were there. I can show you that the cuts occurred in every Region."

"I've locked at staff analysis, and I've looked at analysis done by the Commission on Mental Health, and they all suggest that the cuts in Region 2 were disproportionate. That of... of the total amcunt that was cut, it almost all was in Region 2. There is a breakdown, I've seen on a number of occasions by a number of different staffs, by percentage reduction by Region and for the other Regions, it's all 0 or close to 0. Cn Region 2, it's 6%. 50  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMPIY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEFATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 I don't see hcw anybody from Region 2 can vote at this point, to give more money... to take money out of pensions that are gcing to residents of Fegicn 2, taxpayers, and make... have further monies go elsewhere. I would oppose this Amendment at this point, until we can get some justice for Region 2."

"Representative Terzich."

"Yes. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"The Spooscr indicates that he will yield."

"Yes. What is the shortfall of the pension contributions that I use... being used to finance State Government once again? Did the Sponsor leave, Mr. Speaker? He can't take the pressure or what? He guit?"

"The Sponsor wanted me to tell him how we handled you on the southwest side. So, now he's prepared. So, Mr. Reilly, the distinguish Representative Terzich has a question."

"I'm sorry, Boh. I apologize. Would γου repeat the question?"

"Oh, that's...that's alright. I mean we..."

"It was an interesting election. I didn't need to confer with my mentor to find out how it came out."

"On the Amendment, what amount of money is being the shortfall on the pension contributions? You know, last couple years, I think the Governor shortchanged the pension systems to a total about $500,000,000. What will this bring up to finance State Government?"

"The proposal would reduce the amcunt of pension funding by $85,000,000. Therefore, that $85,000,000... I meant ...therefore, will be only, in quotes, only $200,000,000 in debt at the end of the year rather than roughly 300,000,000'."

"The... I assumed that a similar explanation is that the 51  STATE OF ILIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CEFATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 pension systems had better earnings than the average, and therefore, that the systems don't need the money at this time."

"It's not a matter that they don't need money. It's a matter... NC, no, that is correct, that the pension systems have had better earnings than in several years, partly because of the so-called Frudent Person Rule, and partly because of the economy and the high interest rates. That is... that is certainly true, but I think the question really goes beyond that. Everybody is in... is having difficulties. I'm not sure why this one area is sacrosanct as compared with others. I don't like cutting 100, 200, 300,000,000 as we have out of education funding. I don't like cutting 2 - 300,000 out of Mental Health funding or Public Aid Medical funding, cr fer all the other areas. I'm not sure why this one area, given the horrible situation that we're in, ought to te immuned from the same kinds of cutbacks that we've had to dc in every area."

"Well, has the General Assembly, ΟΓ the Judges' Retirement System contribution been reduced? I don't believe that they're in there."

"The answer is, that the transfer for both of those has already occurred, and we cannot, by law, take that back. However...however, there is, on the Speaker's desk, Senate Joint Besclution 22, of which I'm the House Sponsor, and which I intend to call before we take action on this Pill on Third Reading. And that Resclution provides that we will take out of next year's funding, which is the socnest we can get at the question, that we will take cut of next year's funding for the General Assembly and the Judges' Retirement System a proportional arcunt that we are taking out... that we're not appropriating to the others."

"Then I assumed, also, that if ycu are going to be 52  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF BEFRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 cutting the employers' contribution to the pension system, I assumed then that you would be supporting legislation that would also reduce the employee contribution for a similar amcunt. Or is it just the employees that have tc carry the brunt cf lack cf contributions to the pension system?" Reilly "The employees aren't, in my opinion, carrying the brunt of lack of contribution at all. The unaccrued...the funding ratio is, until the very last year, been going up. The state... I absolutely agree, ought to be doing a better job. But I could give you a thousand other areas, Fob, in which we ought to be doing a better job. We ought to be doing a better jcb of funding schcols. We cught to be doing a better job of funding Mental Health. All I'm saying is that if the choice is between ancther $100,000,000 in borrowing, the Governor sa ys he won't do that. If the choice is between a bigger tax increase, then I make the tough choice that we were sent here and are paid to make."

"Well, with regard to the Arendment, I...I think that it's actually an outrage that the...that the state would again go into the persion system, that they have now lived up to their obligation to fund these, that this is going to bring the funding up to approximately $600,000,000. I recall the first year, I said, "Well, this torrowing is just going to be just this year only, and that would be it'. And during that time, I have not seen any... any motion towards the employees' contribution. Every employee in the state has been paying into their pension system. They're entitled to this money. It's not the state's money to be used back and forth upon State Government. We do have a funding problem when these people come and ask for a pension benefit. We yell and scream about the unfunded 53  STATE OF ILIINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEFATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 liability. But apparently, the biggest culprit in the unfunded liability is the employer that is not meeting his obligation, but certainly will accept the emplcyees' contributions to help fund State Government. I am definitely against this Bill. I think that the pension system should be funded and in it's proper... This is an actual obligation of the state that we promised to pay to the employees and their pension systems. And I would urge an 'nc' vote on this transfer."

"Speaker, Mr. Speaker, can I..."

"Mr. Reilly."

"Yes. With all due respect to Representative Terzich, he used the word 'borrowing'. There is nc borrowing period. We're not taking any money out of the fund. If these funds are the pensicners, then sc are the school funds to school kids. I don't know what makes one sc much more sacrosanct then the others. We're taking ncthing out. It's a matter we're putting money in. It's a matter of how much money we're going to fut in. And that's a distinction in... it simply distorts the whole guestion to ignore that distinction."

"Alright, then we'11 just state that the state is shortchanging the pension system with the addition of this...and up to $600,000,000, if you want to put it to words. But it's still a shortchange to the pension system..."

"Gentlemen, let me just remind both of you that the proper procedure is not to debate back and forth, but to address the Amendment, or to address the Bill. Mr. Stuffle."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members. This is an interesting proposal, because each time that we get up and propose any change in pension benefits on this floor, someone 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CEFATE 29th Legislative Day April 13, 1983 invariably, and particularly, but not always, luckily, from side of the aisle says, "The money simply isn't there. It's going to cost millions of dollars. We're tapping the state again". No one evers stands up though, it seems, to say anything about the emplcyees, the annuitants. Representative Terzich did though. And he should've. I'm getting a little tired of being told that no matter how good a benefit is, the money isn't there. And he's absolutely right when he says it's nct there, through no fault at all of the employers or the annuitants. It's not there because of our faults. If you take this to its logical conclusion, you never give anycne a new benefit. You'd take away something we've got now, if it weren't for the constitutional protections. You simply put them in the box in a catch-22 and say, "We don't have the money'. When it comes time to give you any change any benefit, any increase whether you deserve it or not. You turn right away and take acre money away from them, time and time again. And the Governor said he was going to borrow or take. I like Representative Reilly's term, take. Cause you are taking. It's not borrowing. Cause you and I know they're never going to get this back. It's not going to be added back ever. Not tomorrow, not the next day. We may deal with the question of a 100% paycut or less next fiscal year and the next fiscal year, but we're not going to give this money back. So, Representative Reilly, you're right. We're not borrowing, we're taking. We're taking again for the third time. Three years we took them down from 100% to 75% a payout. Then we took them down to 70 the next year, then to 62 1/2. Now we're going to take them down to 51%. If you keep carrying this as far as you can, you can continue to get up on this floor and say, 'Regardless of the value, regardless of the equity of any benefit change 55  29th legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CEBATE April 13, 1983 ever, the money is not there. And you can really have it both ways. We have a problem with revenue. We have a shortfall. Nobody argues that. But what they argue on this, as Representative Terzich did, that it's not equitable. They continue to take cut of the same pocket over, and cver, and over again. To take especially from the pocket that now needs it mcst. I don't see how you can stand here and continually argue against every benefit increase in some cases by some Members and say on the other hand, it's because the money is not there, when you're the ones that want to take the money on one hand and deny the benefits on the cther. And that's nct fair to the annuitants of this state in any way, shape or form. We can find the money. They're always to find the money. The Governor created this situation. He ran in 1982, telling us we didn't have a problem and now we do. He ran telling us he wouldn't borrow again, and now we are. Not once, but three times. This is damned unfair to those people. Sc, get up with the violins about the benefits next week or next month and talk about the cuts. You're making the cuts. We're not making the cuts. This is unfair to those people, highly unfair. It couldn't be any more unfair than you're proposing it. And you're also trying to take money and put into the state agency and a facility, when at the same time you're taking it out of the hands of retarded kids in local communities and developmental centers. And that's unfair, toc, and this ought to go down to a screaming defeat. Cut it any way you want to."

"Mr. Ebbesen."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, the last Representative, Stuffle, is one those we all who know who carries a lot of the legislation involved in increased benefits, which probably promotes the reason for 56  29th Legislative Day STATE OF IIIINGIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION CEBATE April 13, 1983 having to fund. Take the money from the General Revenue Fund, all that legislation, along with Representative Terzich. I've been here ten years and watched pension Bills go through here, add on benefits when the foundation is falling apart. And someday, somebody is going to have to pay the piper. Now this is nothing new we're talking about here today. You gc back 30-some years when these pension systems were put together, and we all know that the employees are 100% funded, the employees, the employer under every administration, Republican and Democrat, the Executive Eranch, whatever, with those budgets. The employer, which is State Government Internal Revenue, have used thcse dollars elsewhere. And it's true we went from dollar for dollar match, 100% down to 75, then to 65, 62 1/2. And this means it's 51%. Where are we going to stop? We had legislation here last year, the prudent man, which by a quirk of fate, I guess and good investment, those funds now, the funded ratic has gone in ten years up to 30%...from 30% up to the 50% level, which is a surprise to most of us, but it's been based on the generation of good investments, especially in the last couple of years and high interest rates from those investments. But, true, we're not borrowing this money. We're just putting in less. And to me, if it means putting in $85,000,000 less to help along...coupled with the borrowing on a short-term basis, to help this state over a firancial crisis, I think it's a thing that all of us should lock at, a very reasonable practical solution. And then when things turn around and the General Revenue Fund is generating more revenue, then we can increase these contributions back up where they belong, where they've been in the past. Eut for either Representative Terzich or Representative Stuffle to get up and say that you know, 'This is this Governor, his 57  29th Legislative Day responsibility. STATE OF ILLINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REFRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 13, 1983 He created this'. For 30 some years, it's been the same thing. This is nothing more than one more year in which we're doing it, only we're doing it with a little bit more severity. And I would encourage everyone to support the Amendment."

"Mr. Hoffman." Hoffman "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, when I came to the General Assembly in 1967, the Downstate Teachers' Pension System, which is a pension system in which I have a particular interest, was funded at 28%. Since that time, the funding level has increased to the point where it exceeds 50% of level judged more than adequate by most reasonable and responsible people in the field. Of course, it's better if it is just funded at higher level. But, nevertheless, today we're faced with this... some rather difficult alternatives. And from what I hear from speakers from the other side of the aisle, they would prefer to reduce the pension or increase the liability someplace else other than in the pension system. It's my understanding that at this point in time, there's a recognition on the part of the folks who are involved in this, that there may need to be some more discussion. And for that reason, Mr. Speaker, I will terminate my remarks at this time. Thank you."

"Mr. Reilly."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With reluctance, I'm going to ask to take this out of the record at this time. On the one hand, a lot of people say that can't vote for it, because it cuts pension funding. I doubt if very many of those people have the honesty to sign up for the income tax increase at the same time, because those are a part of the choice. Again I reiterate, it's as if somehow these funds are holding. No others are. But, with all the 58  STATE OF ILLINCIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th legislative Day April 13, 1983 misunderstanding that there seems to be, and with the misleading statements which indicates how we're taking money away from the pensioner, which is simply a falsehood, I would ask that the Bill be taken cut of record at this time."

"This Bill shall be taken out of the record. It would be the intention of the Chair to adjourn to Committee. Is there any further business to come before the House? The Chair recognizes Representative Jchn Lunn."

"For the purposes of an annnouncement, Mr. Speaker. The House Transportation Committee will be meeting today in room C-1, room C-1 of the Stratton Euilding. This is a different location from our normal Committee meeting room. So, Transportation Members please gc to rccm C-1 immediately after adjournment."

"The Gentlemen has just anncunced that the Transportation Committee will meet in room C-1, which is a change of location. Is there any further business tc сове before the House? Mr. Vinson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have been subsequently advised that Representative Barnes shculd be an excused absence for the day."

"Let the record reflect that Representative Barnes is excused. Mr. Difrima."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. As the Chief Sponsor of House Fill 486, I would like to have it tabled."

"The Gentlemen states that as the Frincipal Sponsor of House Bill 486, he requests leave to the table the Bill. Is there a leave? Leave is granted, the Fill is tabled. Mr. Erummer."
